Sorbet Man

The mantra at this chic urban salon is 'Real Men Groom' and the contemporary interior details, a bold mix of monochromatic ceramic patterned tiles shot through with vivid colour, brings to mind a retro barbershop you'll be happy to while away some time in. Here you'll find a cosmopolitan mix of stylists and plenty of extras that you otherwise might be too shy to ask for - including a nasal “lollipop” for those unruly nose hairs or an eyebrow threading.

Grooming is top of mind here, as is making you feel as if you are the prince of Sandton. Shoe-cleaning is on the menu, along with a range of spa products including Dermalogica and Bluebeards, ensuring your skin gets a treatment while you take care of grooming essentials. Order an americano or espresso straight up or book a later appointment and enjoy a whisky.

The shave is smooth, slow and close, using five towels - toasty hot for softening the pores, and cold for a refreshing cool-down. Sorbet Man also offers haircuts and colour, manicures, pedicures, facials and waxing. Drop by or make a booking.
