Professional full head shave with hot towel treatment and soothing aftercare

About Head Shave
Experience the smoothest, cleanest head shave at Manhattan Barbershop NYC. This professional service is designed for men who embrace the bald look or are dealing with hair loss and want a perfectly groomed, polished appearance. Our expert barbers use professional-grade clippers and straight razors to deliver a smooth, even head shave that's impossible to achieve at home. We begin with clippers to remove the bulk of hair, followed by hot towel treatment to soften the skin and open pores. Using premium shaving cream and expert straight razor technique, we carefully shave your entire scalp in the direction of hair growth to minimize irritation and prevent ingrown hairs. A second hot towel application soothes the skin, followed by cooling aftershave balm that hydrates, protects, and leaves your scalp feeling fresh and smooth. We pay special attention to difficult areas like the back of the head and around the ears, ensuring consistent, professional results. The result is a clean, confident look that turns heads and requires minimal at-home maintenance. Perfect for professionals, athletes, and anyone who prefers the bold, hassle-free aesthetic of a clean-shaven head.

We'll recommend a schedule based on your hair growth rate and desired appearance.
