Grooming Guide For Grooms

Face
Let’s start where everybody is going to be looking at first. The Face. The face is the first thing everybody is going to notice when you’re walking down that aisle, not to mention frozen in time on endless numbers of wedding photos. They will see the hair, the teeth, eyes, everything. You’ll need to make sure that everything is in top shape before you walk out that door.

Hopefully we don’t have to tell you to shave before your wedding. If a goatee, mustache, or beard is something you could never part with, then at least get a trim. Unless you are completely confident in your abilities: it’s time to visit a barber. Find a barber that can trim a beard or give you a shave.

The barber will first prep your skin with a hot towel and let it sit on your face for a while. This allows your skin pores to open and it softens your facial hair. This all makes for a smoother and closer shave. Next comes the shaving cream. Typically the shaving cream is warm.

Nails
Men’s grooming has come a long way. While just a few years ago men wouldn’t be keen to admit that they got manicures on a regular basis, manicures have become far more popular in recent years. They can add to men’s confidence levels and add to a polished, professional appearance. With a regular manicure once a month, your hands will look their best and thank you for it.

The ideal length for the whites of your fingernails is around 1 to 2 millimeters. Manicures are cheap and easy to get, so there’s no reason why you can’t try one out and see how much better it makes your hands look. Longer fingernails look unprofessional and just aren’t aesthetically pleasing.

The barber will then take a sharpened straight razor, and give you the best shave you’ve ever had. If you think your handy Mach 3 is good, wait until you experience a barber style shave. Nothing shaves closer than a straight edge. Your skin should feel like a baby’s bottom after their done. Shaves are fairly inexpensive, and worth every penny.

Hair
Now is the time to ditch the barber who gives the same haircut to everybody that walks through his store. A lot of high-end salons understand that not everybody’s got the same shaped head and features. They can tailor the haircut or style to match your personality, hair texture, and facial features.

If you don’t know of any hair salons in your area, ask for a reference. Scoping out the Internet is another way to find local resources in your area.

Do a few trials before the wedding to make sure you like the haircut. Make an appointment for one week before your wedding for the real “due” day.

If you have very short hair, you may choose to have it cut one or two days before your wedding. Scan men’s magazines for pictures of models that match the hairstyle you are considering. Rip out magazine pictures from GQ or Esquire and bring them to the stylist. Any good stylist will know whether or not they can do it.

After you’re done with the cut; the stylist will probably take some concoction and style your hair. If you like what they did, ask them how they did it. Find out what they used in your hair, and buy it on the spot. If you don’t think you can replicate it, the stylist should be more then happy to style it for you again before the ceremony. It might be nice to give them a few bucks too! After you’ve got your hair all sassed up, look in the mirror and grin. You deserve it you handsome devil!

Teeth Whitening
Your wedding day will probably be the one day where you’ll be smiling until it hurts! Whether the smiles are fake or real, there will probably be dozens of cameras taking your picture. If you want to look your best and your teeth are stained and look a bit on the brown side we suggest you consider getting your teeth whitened so you can smile with confidence.

There are a lot of options when it comes to teeth whitening, so check with your dentist for advice and prices. The single session teeth bleaching is the newest technology and only takes an hour or two. The whitening strips may also be a cheaper alternative along with cutting down on coffee and red wine.
