Grooms Embrace Grooming Trends: From Haircuts to Spa Days
Full Transcript
Grooms are increasingly embracing grooming trends, transforming how they prepare for their weddings as self-care routines take center stage. According to The Business Standard, grooms in Dhaka are moving beyond the traditional last-minute haircut to invest in comprehensive grooming services.
Salons are reporting that grooms are now booking facials, hair spas, beard shaping, and even full-body relaxation sessions. Abhi Mallik, a businessman and soon-to-be groom, shared that he initially thought he would only get a haircut before his wedding.
However, he found himself overwhelmed by the various events leading up to the big day and realized the importance of looking and feeling his best in every photo and moment. He booked a grooming session for the first time, which significantly improved his mood, allowing him to feel calm amidst the wedding chaos.
Salons like Studio Ombre in Banani have adapted to this trend, offering tailored grooming packages for grooms that include services such as a 'Groovy Express Facial' and a 20-minute shoulder massage, culminating in a fresh haircut and sharp beard trim.
They recommend scheduling these sessions two days before the wedding to keep the groom looking fresh without the stress of last-minute preparations. The trend reflects a broader societal shift in beauty standards, where grooms are now seen as co-stars in the wedding narrative, sharing the spotlight with brides.
The importance of looking good in photos is echoed by brides like Maliha Ahmed, who want their partners to embrace grooming for the sake of shared memories. Salons are redesigning their spaces and introducing targeted men's services to meet this growing demand, ensuring grooms receive the same level of care as brides.
The emphasis is on achieving a polished look while maintaining a sense of authenticity and comfort. As this trend continues to evolve, grooms are no longer relegated to the sidelines but are instead stepping into the grooming spotlight with confidence and intention.
