Her Gift Picks

White Glove Depotting by “Kit Whisperer” Grishan Roof

His Gift Picks
Portable 3-Way Folding Mirror
“Three-way mirrors give you a 360-degree view that eliminates blind spots, guesswork, and frustration that comes with trying to cut your own hair. This gift is great for barbers to get the job done right, using all angles provided. You also have the ability to hang it off on any surface that the built-in hooks can grab onto, giving you the ability to use both hands freely.”
Shop: Lipfi’s Barbershop The 360 Mirror, $24.99
Cord/Cordless Hand Massager
“Not only is this gift great for a barber to use on his client to create a better experience, but barbers benefit by being able to give themselves a quick neck massage between clients. [We] tend to have our heads slightly down, causing strain to neck muscles. We can use the quick spa-like feeling even if it is for a few minutes.”
Shop: BABYLISSPRO VIBEFX Cord/Cordless Massager (Silver), $142.99
Hot Towel Warmer
“The towel’s warmth offers an effective way to improve circulation, reduce muscle soreness, and reduce any tension felt in the surrounding area where it is placed. A great way for a barber to destress!”
Shop: Modern Elements JLS-502 Small Hot Towel Warmer, $109.00
