Beyond the Haircut: A Grad’s Guide to Picture-Perfect Grooming

Graduation is a momentous occasion, and your pictures should reflect that! Here at The Refined Man Barbershop, we know a sharp haircut is key, but for truly unforgettable photos, you need a polished look from head to toe.

Prep Work is Key:

  • Sleep & Hydration: A well-rested face shows. Aim for a good night’s sleep before your photos. Likewise, staying hydrated plumps your skin and reduces puffiness.
  • Skincare Savvy: Don’t skip the routine! Cleanse, moisturize, and address any concerns with a targeted product like an oil-free moisturizer for oily skin or a hydrating cream for dryness. Exfoliate a few days before to remove dead skin cells and promote a healthy glow.

Sharp Shave or Stubble?

  • The Clean Shave: Opt for a fresh shave the morning of your photos. Invest in a quality razor and shaving cream to avoid irritation. Apply a post-shave balm to soothe and prevent razor burn.
  • The Stubble Look: If you prefer stubble, make sure it’s well-maintained. Use a beard trimmer at the desired length and define the edges with a sharp razor.

Brow Game on Point:

  • Untamed brows? A quick clean-up can make a big difference. Get them professionally shaped a week or two before pictures to avoid redness on the day of.

Polished Finishing Touches:

  • Nail Care: Clean and trim your nails. Consider a simple buff for a healthy shine.
  • Deodorant: This one’s a no-brainer. Choose a deodorant that keeps you fresh throughout the photoshoot.
  • Confidence is Key: The most important accessory is your smile! Relax, feel good about your accomplishment, and that confidence will shine through in your photos.

Bonus Tip: Pack a travel-sized grooming kit for touch-ups on the go.
