Spiff

This sleek white-and-chrome men’s salon is a far cry from the old-time barbershop that plucked Grandpa’s whiskers. Attentive and affable staffers escort you to your chair, where an LCD television embedded above the mirror gives you something to focus on besides the sharp razor approaching your face. Although Spiff’s clientele consists mostly of midtown businessmen, they’re more than happy to walk whippersnappers through their first “real” shave. Manager-stylist Danny Kerr says he self-tested a variety of products before deciding to carry eShave exclusively. Choose from a beard trim ($15), an express shave ($35) or a deluxe shave ($50), which includes a hot-towel treatment to soften your skin, lavender preshave oil, and a postshave facial and hot-oil scalp treatment.
