The Art of Shaving

Bought an electric beard trimmer from this place did not do a good job on my beard I paid $ 100 for it they will not return it said I used it well of course I used it how else did I no it didn’t work DON’T GO here … Bad service… Don’t back there product!

This store has always been fascinating to me. When they first opened they had a barber and he would shave you with an old fashion straight edge. They had a flood recently and when they rebuilt it the chair was moved to Roseville. SOOOOOO sad. I really was hoping to buy one today for a gift. As a consolation gift I got a trial set. There are no returns once it’s opened so they can try if and if they love it I’ll get him the full size set.
The gentleman working in the store was really pleasant and helpful. I was concerned because when I walked up I didn’t see anyone. He told me about all of the products and why they work well. He demoed them too. I’ll be back to buy a razor, but I want him to pick it out. They are all weighted so you don’t dig into yourself when you shave. I’m really have high hopes that this stuff will be the key to shaving happiness.
They really need to put a chair back. It’s what makes the experience and made me want to go in there the first time. Now it’s just another cosmetics shop, but for men.

Well worth it, every man should experience this!!! Oliver is a one of a kind!!! What a great place for a hair cut and beard trim!!!

So I was shopping for my boyfriend and I never heard of The Art of Shaving. I walked in and I was greeting by a man named Salar, he was SO wonderful. I felt like i knew everything about all the products! I explained to him what my boyfriends problems were when it came to shaving and he showed me the example and I didn’t understand why I didn’t even own any of these products. I was so convinced, but i bought a started pack. Once my boyfriend used this product he was amazed! Honestly recommend everyone to go here, and just talk to Salar, he was great, and super friendly! Definitely will be going back.

Not impressed by the 2 women who work there now. They are extremely rude and never smile when I’ve been in there! They are always behind their «cash wrap» chatting with each other and never leave their spot!
Loccitane next door has a great men’s shaving line! I’ll be going there for my mans face care for now on!

Service was excellent, and im a huge fan of their products. The location is nice and its size is decent. Have never tried their actual shaving services, but the actual shaving products are a little pricy, but phenomenal!

Three times the money you’d normally spend if you’d gone to a Great Clips or Supercuts, but well worth the cost!
That in consideration, I only treat myself for a cut here once or twice a year. Oliver, whom many other satisfied customers have vouched for already, is amazing, needless to say — skillful, personable, and swagger like no other, if I may say so. My Filipino brother from another mother is so cool, calm, and composed as he pampers you every step of the way. He talks you through what he’s doing as he goes, and even lends some helpful tips on how to maintain that particular look you want as your hair grows out.
An overall awesome barbershop with extremely professional workers and service.

As my first Father’s Day gift, my wife surprised me with a haircut and royal shave. This was my first time visiting The Art of Shaving for their spa and barber services.
I was incredibly impressed with Oliver’s professionalism, capability, and sociability. He provided an exceptional haircut and shaped my beard as well. I wear a full beard, and Oliver trimmed it to just where I need it.
Also, the royal shave was refreshing without being over the top.
I would recommend trusting your tonsorial needs to Oliver.

My wife got me a gift card for Father’s Day and told me to ask for Oliver. Glad I did! Great shave, great guy and great experience! I highly recommend this place for all your shaving needs, and highly recommend asking for Oliver specifically. This is the only place if you are looking for a great shaving experience. Thanks Oliver!

Oliver is an artist. A true perfectionist and highly skilled barber. It was a great experience. I’m hooked and will be back again and again.

Treated myself to a haircut and royal shave today. First time at this location and Oliver was fantastic all the way around. I plan to go back without a doubt.
If you’ve never had a straight razor shave, it’s an absolutely wonderful experience that every guy should enjoy at some point in life.

Haircut and shave with Oliver. It doesn’t get any better!
Oliver is a master at his craft.

I was the best man for my friend’s wedding, and on the morning of the Big Day he and I got the Royal Shave treatment at the Art of Shaving. The barber was a gentleman by the name of Oliver, and he was fantastic. The back room where the shaving took place was great, with a very classy, sophisticated atmosphere, and yet relaxed. Oliver was like a sculptor, with an amazing attention to detail, and he was classy, professional, and could carry on a great conversation while taking care of the shave. He explained in detail everything he was doing, to the point where it was almost like a professional shaving tutorial. The Royal Shave was a bit pricey, but for special occasions (or if you just have a lot of disposable income!) it was entirely worth it, and I can’t wait to go back.

Oliver is amazing. Very skilled, personable and all around great shaving artist!!! Highly recommended!!!

Wow What a great experience. Oliver was exceptional. Now it is more than your local Barber Shop but well worth the 45 min you will get being papered.

Oliver thanks for the awesome shave. Art of Shaving is a top notch place. Anyone who has a beard is in for a treat.

Oliver is amazing. Prior to living in Sac I was in NYC and I was very accustom to the very high standards of shaving and customer experience that Manhattan has to offer. After going to Oliver a few times he has raised the bar in my mind on what to expect from a shave.
Very courteous in manner, very fine attention to detail and always makes sure that any and all of my expectations are fully met.
I highly recommend the Royal. Although it does have a higher price then market average in Sacramento, that price is easily justified by the quality of shave, and the meticulous, relaxing manner in which Oliver delivers his art.

I went in today for my first professional shave. I got the royal shave. It was way more amazing than I was even hoping for. Oliver is a very cool, professional, and informative guy. He made for a relaxing time.
Regardless of how much I learned about shaving, I just felt like a pampered, well groomed badass afterwards.
This is a must do (on at least a semi regular basis) for any guy! Get in there asap.

This was my first time getting a shave at the Art of Shaving from my man Oliver. It’s was an amazing experience. Worth every penny.
I got the Royal face and head shave. I was treated like a king, and looked just as good too!
I would recommend this ‘Royal’ treatment for any guy who wants to both feel, and look good.
Oliver’s the man for the job.
I’ll be back next month!

When I walked into The Art of Shaving I was already taken back to my childhood days of going with my dad and helping him pick out the razor, oil, or brushes he needed. Sounds of Frank Sinatra echoed throughout the store with a very relaxing ambiance.
I came to the store to get a shave and ended up getting the Royal Treatment.
The first thing I did was get relaxed. I met the stylist, Oliver Abucay, and got comfortable in the chair. We then discussed what I was looking for, shape, style, fullness, etc. After we figured out the perfect style we started shaping my beard, around the ears and under the chin with a machine razor. I then got a hot towel to open up my pours as he prepared the pre-​shave oil. The next steps were the actual shaving! When Oliver started shaving me with the straight razor I knew I was in good hands. He lined up everything perfectly and even when I wanted to go a little shorter he was happy to redo it and didn’t rush at all. After the shave I got a facial mask to calm any irritation caused by the straigh razor, which wasn’t any, but was still extremely relaxing! I even got rose petals for on my eyes!
I highly recommend checking this place out and I definitely will be driving back to the area for another shave! Soft music, and getting groomed like every man should be! It was the most relaxing experience I’ve had in months!
P.S.
I’d ask for Oliver, he did s superb job, easy to talk to and up to date on all the fashion trends.
