Thomas Hair Spa, Mexico City, Mexico
Mexican coiffeur Thomas Escarcega learned his craft in London and Paris in the 1970s, moving to his native country in the 1980s to launch the first of his many successful salon ventures. Concrete floors, all-white walls and marble accents have been the signature elements of his salons' minimal look, distinguishing his outposts from the more exuberant decorative style on offer locally. His latest offering is a luminous new Thomas Hair Spa on a tranquil street in the upmarket Polanco neighbourhood of Mexico City. The modern take on the French bob (a carefree version of the classic) is a favourite of the cutter, who specialises in precise styles of cut that have a long-lasting effect eschewing obsessive care. The no-appointment policy of the salon is compensated by a waiting area that doubles as cultural space, furnished with classic design pieces and constantly updated with a wide selection of books and international luxury periodicals.

Brooklyn Grooming
Brooklyn's first skincare company for men has unveiled 'Anchor', an organic, handmade aftershave. Its launch simultaneously celebrates the brand's anniversary year and points it in a new direction away from the three signature colognes that established their name. The aftershave offers a brand new scent that incorporates holistic remedies like Himalayan Cedarwood, paying tribute to the original medicinal purpose of its distinctive blue glass vials. Riding on the back of the launch, the company have also produced the aptly titled Gentleman's Kit, a sampler pack which contains four of their all-natural salves, including their iconic 'Williamsburg' beard oil. It just seems to prove that you can’t stray too far from your hipster roots.
