Last week, I made it to the men’s paradise The Shave of Beverly Hills. I did not get to shave the owner Vinnie Malcolm, nor got a treatment: the boutique only offer services for men in an old America atmosphere, (shave, hair cuts and facials).

 

The only thing women can do is to buy presents for their men, which include hats from London. We are not even allowed to enter the second room of the store where men relax while being taken care of by licensed practitioners. The evening I went it was to listen to young R&B singer Tommy Johnson. Thanks Tommy, as I was able to get a full tour of the shoppe.

Chef Pascal Lorange prepared a special menu for the occasion. See the pictures below.
