Men, these aren't your fathers' barbershops. Get groomed without - or with, if you prefer - all the fuss in a joint where testosterone rules and golf tips dominate the conversation. From haircuts to professional shaves to back waxing, here's where Denver dudes go to get pampered.
Proper: This Highlands neighborhood barbershop keeps it simple with three items on the menu: haircut, shave or combo. But don't let its old-school approach fool you -- despite getting to "enjoy an ice cold beer, read a vintage Playboy, and talk some shit," the services are fresh and modern.3923 Tennyson St.; 303-862-7537
Gentlemen's Quarters: You won't be smelling perm solution at this men-only establishment. However, you will have plenty of perks at your fingertips - the shave here uses desert clay, matching facials in pampering potential. Reflexology, hair removal, back and nail treatments are also available. 1605 17th St.; 303-991-1010
