How times have changed in regards to getting a shave and a hair cut. Today, many of today's barbershops give you the experience of the old school private gentlemen's club (no, not that type of club). But, the ones where guys can come and experience a luxurious grooming experience. The LIQUID editors have found three of the best shops in New York, Los Angeles and Washington DC.

WASHINGTON DC
Grooming Lounge
1745 L St. NW, Washington DC | (202) 466-8900 DC

The Grooming Lounge was at the forefront of the business of grooming men. Back when many didn’t see the point, Michael Gilman and Pirooz Fashar began an online grooming store, establishing their flagship DC front in 2002. A Northern VA outpost has been added since. The dark marble floors and espresso colored walls give the feel of an old school country club.  With a diverse clientele ranging from Howard students to top tier politicos, GL offers massages, shoe shines, facials, and more to the men of the Chocolate City.  With an eclectic mix of jazz and Motown, patrons can guzzle a beer or sip a cocktail.  A few times a year the owners of Grooming Lounge put on lingerie parties filled with beautiful models in scantily clad lingerie that you can buy for your woman. You can also purchase the many pieces of jewelry they rock for men.
Clientele: Lawyers, Politicians, Howard and Georgetown Students; Government and Financial Types
