What is a blog?  For us it is a short blurb that we write when the mood strikes us.  It can be first person, funny or informative. In short, a blog is whatever we want it to be. Published Dec. 1, 2006 at 9:17 a.m.

Dear Groom,

I have to attend a corporate black tie event for my job next week and I want to look polished but not overdone. How should I style my hair?


Use a high gloss with a strong style and shape. We would highly suggest using American Crew Citrus Mint Gel which has a refreshing and clean fragrance with holistic qualities. It has a medium hold and allows for a professional finish. If you part your hair, you will appear over the top but you will look great. Try a hidden part for the night.

Dear Groom,

I am hanging out with the guys and I don't want to look like I have product in my hair, but it looks stupid without it. What should I do?


Use a matte finish for more separation and an exaggerated appearance. For casual occasions like this, try Paul Mitchelll's Tea Tree Shaping Cream, which will give you style without the "product" look.

Dear Groom,

I just got a new job Downtown and I am wondering what products I should use in my hair when I go to work?

A natural to a semi gloss finish are appropriate in this case. All amounts of separation are acceptable in the workplace, and our American Crew Forming Cream would be a great choice for your situation. This has a natural finish with a medium hold and is very functional. Also, I would highly recommend getting a taper with your haircut, which shapes the hairline with a high quality, natural appearance.
