About this workshop

Level up your daily grooming game. This hands-on workshop covers skincare, beard maintenance, brow cleanup, and the fundamentals of looking sharp every day — taught by licensed barbers and grooming specialists.

Most guys never learned proper grooming — this class fixes that. We cover the full spectrum: building a skincare routine that takes 3 minutes, beard trimming and shaping techniques, how to maintain a clean neckline between barber visits, brow grooming basics, nose and ear hair management, and product recommendations that actually work. You'll practice each technique with professional guidance and leave with a complete grooming routine tailored to your face, skin type, and lifestyle. No judgment, no pretension — just practical skills every guy should have.

For guys who want to look more polished without spending a fortune, grooms prepping for their wedding, or anyone who's been using the same bar soap on their face and body for 10 years.

Every men's grooming 101 session is fully mobile, meaning our instructor travels directly to your location anywhere in New York City. Whether you are hosting in your living room in Brooklyn, a penthouse in Manhattan, a backyard in Queens, or an office in the Bronx, we bring the entire class to you. There is no need to commute, find parking, or coordinate meeting at a studio. Your space becomes the classroom, and our instructor handles everything from setup to cleanup.

What sets our men's grooming 101 apart from generic online tutorials or group classes at a studio is the personalized, hands-on instruction. Our licensed professionals do not just demonstrate techniques and hope you figure it out. They watch you practice, correct your form in real time, and adapt their teaching to your specific needs. This one-on-one attention within a group setting is why our participants consistently report that they learn more in a single session with us than in months of watching YouTube videos.

We have taught this class to thousands of New Yorkers across all five boroughs, from total beginners who have never attempted anything like this before to experienced hobbyists looking to refine their technique. The group dynamic adds an element of fun and camaraderie that makes the learning experience feel less like a class and more like a social event. Many of our bookings are for special occasions like bachelorette parties, birthday celebrations, corporate team-building events, and holiday gatherings, but we also work with groups of friends who simply want to learn something new together.

What you'll learn

Our grooming class covers the complete male grooming routine from head to toe. On the skincare side, you will learn how to identify your skin type (most guys have no idea), how to choose a cleanser that works without over-drying, the importance of moisturizer even for oily skin, and why SPF is the single most effective anti-aging product on the market. We build you a three-step routine that takes under three minutes.

For beard and facial hair, you will learn trimming techniques using both guards and freehand, how to shape your beard to complement your face shape, how to maintain a clean neckline between barber visits, and how to deal with common issues like patchiness, ingrown hairs, and uneven growth. We also cover brow grooming (cleaning up the middle and shaping without over-plucking), nose and ear hair management, and product recommendations for every step of your routine, from affordable drugstore options to premium products that are worth the investment.

Who this class is for

This class is for any guy who wants to look more put-together without spending a lot of time or money. Whether you are a groom getting ready for the biggest day of your life, a professional who wants to make a better impression at work, or a regular guy who just never learned the basics, this class gives you everything you need in 90 practical minutes.

We designed this class specifically for men who are starting from scratch or near-scratch. There is no expectation that you know anything about skincare, grooming products, or facial hair maintenance coming in. Our instructor is a licensed barber who works with guys every day and understands that most men want simple, effective solutions, not complicated 12-step routines. If you can brush your teeth, you can follow the routine we build for you.

Why take men's grooming 101

Investing in this skill pays dividends every single day. Here is why our participants love this class.

Look Sharp Without the Effort

A solid grooming routine takes 3-5 minutes a day. Learn the fundamentals that make the biggest visual difference so you look polished with minimal time investment.

Save Money Between Barber Visits

Maintaining your neckline, trimming your beard, and keeping your brows clean between barber visits means you always look fresh, not just the day after your appointment.

Build a Real Skincare Routine

Most guys use bar soap on their face and wonder why their skin looks rough. We build you a simple, effective 3-step routine that works for your skin type and takes almost no time.

Get Wedding-Ready

Grooms and groomsmen who take this class show up on the big day looking their absolute best. Start your grooming routine weeks before the wedding and see the difference it makes.

What to expect during your session

Here is a detailed look at how a typical men's grooming 101 session unfolds, from the moment your instructor arrives to the moment they leave.

Our grooming specialist, a licensed barber with years of experience, arrives at your location with a full kit including skincare products, beard trimmers, shaping tools, brow grooming equipment, and product samples. The session starts with a straightforward assessment: what is your current routine, what are your biggest grooming frustrations, and what do you want to improve? No one is judged for not knowing anything. Most guys who take this class are starting from zero, and that is exactly who it is designed for.

The hands-on portion covers the full grooming spectrum. For skincare, you will build a simple three-step routine (cleanser, moisturizer, SPF) that takes under three minutes and actually works for your skin type. For beard care, you will learn trimming techniques, how to shape your beard to complement your face shape, and how to maintain a clean neckline between barber visits. The instructor demonstrates each technique, then guides everyone through practicing it themselves. We also cover brow grooming basics, nose and ear hair management, and how to choose products that actually do what they claim.

The class wraps up with personalized grooming plans for each participant. Your instructor will recommend specific products based on your skin type, facial hair pattern, and budget, and give you a simple daily and weekly routine to follow. Most guys are surprised by how little time and effort it actually takes to look significantly more polished. The difference between no grooming routine and a basic grooming routine is dramatic, and it shows up in how people perceive you at work, on dates, and in everyday life. You will leave with the knowledge and confidence to maintain your look every single day.

Do I need any experience for men's grooming 101?

No prior experience is needed whatsoever. Our men's grooming 101 is designed to accommodate complete beginners as well as people with some existing knowledge who want to refine their technique. Our instructor assesses each participant's current skill level at the beginning of the session and adapts their teaching accordingly. Whether you have never picked up a trimmer before or you practice regularly and want professional-level tips, you will get value from this class. We meet every participant exactly where they are and help them level up from there.

What materials do I need to bring?

You do not need to bring anything at all. We arrive at your location with every single tool, product, and material needed for the class. This includes professional-grade equipment, a curated selection of products across brands and price points, practice materials, and any reference guides or handouts. If you want to bring your own products or tools that you currently use, you are welcome to, and our instructor can evaluate them and suggest improvements. But it is absolutely not required.

How many people can attend men's grooming 101?

Men's Grooming 101 works best with groups of 4–10 people, which is the ideal range for hands-on instruction where everyone gets personal attention. The minimum group size is 3 people. If you have a larger group, we can absolutely accommodate you by bringing additional instructors. Groups of 10 to 20 people typically require two instructors, and we have handled groups of up to 30 for corporate events and large celebrations. Just let us know your group size when booking and we will make sure you have enough instructors for everyone to get quality one-on-one guidance.

Can I book a private one-on-one lesson?

Yes, we offer private one-on-one sessions for men's grooming 101. Private lessons are priced at $99 per hour with a two-hour minimum. The advantage of a private session is that you get the instructor's full, undivided attention for the entire class, which means faster skill development and completely personalized instruction. Many of our clients book private sessions when they have a specific goal in mind, like mastering a particular technique before an event, or when they prefer learning without a group setting. Contact us to schedule your private lesson at a time and location that works for you.

How long does men's grooming 101 take?

The standard men's grooming 101 session runs 90 min. This is enough time to cover all the core techniques, give every participant hands-on practice, and answer questions. If your group wants a longer, more in-depth session, we can extend the class in one-hour increments at $99 per additional hour. Some groups choose to book a two-and-a-half or three-hour session for a more relaxed pace, especially for celebrations like bachelorette parties or birthdays where the social aspect is as important as the learning. Let us know your preference when booking and we will customize the session length to fit your group.

What will I be able to do after completing this class?

After completing men's grooming 101, you will have the skills and confidence to maintain a complete daily grooming routine including skincare, beard trimming and shaping, brow grooming, and product selection. Every participant also leaves with written reference materials so you can refresh your memory at home. The skills you learn in this class are permanent. Once the technique clicks, you have it for life.
