Experience a traditional hot towel shave at Prestige Barbers in Jacksonville. Our hot towel shave is more than a grooming service — it is a relaxation ritual that combines hot steam towels, pre-shave oil, a straight razor shave, and a cold towel finish. This is the classic barbershop experience that chain salons cannot replicate.
The hot towel shave has been a barbershop tradition for over a century, and at Prestige Barbers, we have refined the process to deliver the smoothest, most comfortable shave possible. Our barbers use professional straight razors and premium shave products to give you a shave closer than any cartridge razor can achieve.
Available at both locations. Atlantic Blvd: 11900 Atlantic Blvd Suite #223, 32225 — (904) 677-4767. Argyle Forest: 6001 Argyle Forest Blvd Suite #8, 32244 — (904) 683-8717. Walk-ins welcome daily.
Step 1: A steamed towel is applied to soften the beard and open pores. Step 2: Pre-shave oil is massaged into the skin to create a protective layer. Step 3: Premium lather is applied with a traditional shave brush. Step 4: Your barber performs a straight razor shave with the grain for a smooth first pass. Step 5: A second lather and against-the-grain pass for maximum closeness. Step 6: A cold towel is applied to close pores and soothe the skin. Step 7: Aftershave balm is applied for hydration and protection.
A straight razor delivers the closest possible shave — significantly closer than multi-blade cartridges or electric razors. The single, sharp blade cuts hair cleanly at the skin surface without the tugging and irritation caused by multiple blades. The result is smoother skin that stays stubble-free longer, with fewer ingrown hairs and less razor burn.
Our hot towel shave is popular before weddings, job interviews, date nights, military inspections, and special events throughout Jacksonville. Many clients pair a hot towel shave with a fresh fade for the complete Prestige grooming experience. Gift certificates are available if you want to give someone the barbershop luxury treatment.
Many of our clients add a hot towel shave or straight razor neck shave to their regular haircut appointment. It is the perfect finishing touch after a fresh fade — clean neckline, smooth skin, and a polished look from every angle. Ask your barber to add it on during your next visit.
