At Home In The Man Cave

All guys know that having your hair on point is a must! You can't look fly if your hair is looking a mess, but you don't get a trim if you don't trust your barber. It's a catch 22 situation. Luckily for me, Southampton has Man Cave Male Grooming, a barbers in the city centre. Man Cave Male Grooming was created by Valter and Leon in 2015, with the idea that the barber shop experience in Southampton was lacking and they had a way to fix this. 

As soon as you enter,  it's clear see that it is different to any other barbers in the area. You are greeted and welcomed as soon as you walk through the door, offered a complimentary drink (Water, Soft Drinks or Beer) then asked if you have a specific barber you would like and they advise your waiting time. Usually this is a drag, however, Man Cave have got an app that you can download. Once registered, you can book an appointment with your chosen barber at any point of the day and so long as you arrive 5 minutes early you can get your cut done there and then, which I personally feel is a great touch.

Man Cave have installed TVs in the waiting area but also at each station so you can get a trim and not miss a moment of live sport. All the guys and girls are friendly and they never rush your cut while in the chair. I always have a mid fade 0-1/2 and it always takes around 30 to 45 minutes as they make sure that your cut is perfect. 

It's honestly a great experience and like no other in the Southampton. They are also currently building a bar in the back so that you can chill out and have a pint while you wait. I have been going there the last year and I wouldn't go anywhere else now. If you're Southampton based, make the Man Cave your next stop for a beer and a trim.
