A professional shave begins before the razor touches your face.

It begins with a conversation.

At HIROGINZA Sydney, we want to understand your skin and your usual shaving routine before starting a Traditional Japanese Shaving service.

That attention matters because no two faces are exactly the same.

Tell Us About Your Usual Routine

Do you shave every morning? Do you use an electric shaver? Does your skin sometimes feel uncomfortable after shaving?

You do not need to give us a complicated explanation. A few simple details can help us understand what you are used to and whether there is anything we should take into account.

If you have recently experienced irritation, cuts or sensitivity, please mention it before your appointment begins.

The aim is to make an informed decision about the service, not to assume that every customer’s skin will respond in the same way.

What a Professional Shave Can Do

Traditional Japanese facial shaving focuses on carefully removing facial hair, including fine hair that can be easy to overlook at home.

Shaving may also remove some dead skin cells from the surface, which can leave the skin looking smoother.

The result varies from person to person. A shave is not a treatment for acne, pigmentation or other skin conditions, and we do not want to suggest otherwise.

What we can offer is a considered grooming service, carried out with attention to the details of your face.

Comfort Is Part of the Conversation

Some people enjoy a close shave. Others know that their skin can be reactive.

If you have concerns, we want you to feel comfortable raising them.

There may be times when it is better to postpone shaving or seek advice from a healthcare professional, particularly if the skin is broken, inflamed or affected by an active condition.

Looking after your skin sometimes means deciding not to proceed with a service that day.

Shaving as Part of Your Grooming Routine

You can book our Traditional Japanese Shaving service on its own for $60.

Facial shaving is also included in our Signature Grooming Course, which combines a haircut with several elements of Japanese grooming.

Whether you visit for shaving alone or choose the full course, we want the experience to begin with an understanding of your needs.

HIROGINZA Sydney is preparing to open at Level 1, Suite 5, Dymocks Building, 428 George Street, Sydney NSW 2000.

A good shave is not just about the finish.

It is also about knowing when to ask questions, when to adjust and when to put your skin first.
