A CUT ABOVE

MEN’S grooming has evolved.

By upping the ante on style essentials, we geta sense that 22 Thatcher Barbershop clearly knows what clients want.

Giving that oomph to the usual haircut.

Casting a new light on something you didn’t think needed reimagining.

In this case, revitalizing the entire grooming experience, a small but decadent addition to the manly routine.

Take Brickell’s face products.

Almost every skincare brand makes one—and it turns out a smear of Purifying Charcoal Face Wash for men feels decidedly more invigorating than your old drugstore bottle.

Used in their regular facials, you may not know that Brickell Men’s Products is well known for its high performing, organic skincare and grooming stuff.

Or that Linear Coffee Roasters, the “real deal coffee” that rivals branded establishments, has 22 Thatchero ffering indulgence in curated services ranging from grooming and relaxation, to beverages.

Even the most utilitarian items can cause joy.

Call it basic, no matter how simple the function.

Upgrading manly essentials gives an element of elegance to your ordinary routine.

It’s uniquely old school in a modern London warehouse feels. Their process takes awhile, an hour maximum. Either way cutting and styling all with a distinct purpose.

Then the massage.

The revitalizing facial.

Before you know it, a pomade is already being applied to your hair for that look.

True to form, a true gentleman always favors the high road. And most prefer Linear Coffee’s cold and white brew bottled beverages that’s sold in-house.

Challenging men’s cut and style in the city, 22 Thatcher Barbershop, which is located in Cebu’s upscale Streetscape Mall in Banilad, epitomizes
something else entirely.

The rapid rise of men’s style and grooming culture has created a platform and market that has indeed evolved.

In this regard it’s the careful attention to details that counts.

The 22 Thatcher experience is you walk in for a reason, and walk out with a purpose.

Before it was just about comfort and satisfaction, now it’s about catering to the Mindful Modern Man. What it takes? A good cut, coffee, and the chill culture.

And did I say copies of Monocle resting in their tables say a lot about the establishment.

It’s everything there is.

Reservations recommended.
