Hot Towel Shave Questions Answered
How much does a hot towel shave cost at Pro Look Gents Salon?
A hot towel shave starts from AED 95. This includes the full ritual: hot towel application, pre-shave oil, shaving cream, straight-razor shave, cold towel and aftercare balm.
Is a hot towel shave good for sensitive skin?
Yes — when done correctly by an experienced barber. The hot towel softens hair and opens pores, reducing drag. Cold towel and aftercare products close pores and soothe any redness afterwards.
How often should I get a professional shave?
Most men find a professional shave every 1–2 weeks ideal for maintaining smooth, healthy skin. Between visits, shaving at home with proper technique and aftercare keeps skin in good condition.
Can I combine a hot towel shave with a haircut?
Yes. Book the Shave & Beard Shape combo at AED 140, or book a
haircut and shave in the same appointment via Setmore. Our barbers coordinate both services seamlessly.
Do you offer head shaves at Pro Look?
Yes. A full head shave with warm towels and a straight razor or clipper is available from AED 80. Includes post-shave scalp treatment.
How long does a hot towel shave take?
A standard Hot Towel Shave takes around 30–40 minutes. Adding a beard shape brings the full Shave & Beard Shape appointment to 50–60 minutes.
Is a straight razor shave safe?
Yes — it’s performed by an experienced barber using sanitised tools and a fresh blade for every client, with the hot towel and pre-shave oil steps designed to reduce drag and irritation.
Should I shave at home before my appointment?
No need — arrive with your normal stubble or beard. Your barber will assess your hair growth and skin before starting the shave.
Can I book a hot towel shave online?
Yes — book instantly via our online Setmore booking page, or message us on WhatsApp to arrange a time.
Do you accept walk-ins for a hot towel shave?
Yes, walk-ins are welcome daily. Booking ahead is recommended for evenings and weekends, our busiest times.
How soon before my wedding should I book a hot towel shave?
A shave the day before or morning of the event gives the freshest finish. If you have sensitive skin, consider a trial shave a week or two earlier to see how your skin reacts.
Does a hot towel shave help prevent razor burn?
Yes. The warm towel softens beard hair while pre-shave oil reduces friction, helping minimise irritation and razor burn.
What’s included in a hot towel shave?
The service includes hot towels, pre-shave oil, shaving cream, straight-razor shave, cold towel and soothing aftercare.
