I'm guessing Santiago is overflowing with upscale barber shops.

What the f... you need a "upscale barber shop" for !? Paying 5 x for the same service ? If the dominicans are good in something than in cutting hairs. You can go to every normal place and get a service 10x better than in europe or the US !!!

I'm quite happy with my local guy. He smells like a distillery, comes to my house. #4 buzz sides and back. Scissor cut in front and top. Shapes beard. He charges 400 for home service with beard work. I pay him 500 and buy him a grande so he can work with gusto!

I ENJOY A ROYAL SHAVE


The Royal Shave is the ultimate indulgence. Experience the ritual of The 4 Elements of the Perfect Shave® performed by A expertly trained Master Barbers. This relaxing escape begins with a hot towel and a protective layer of Pre-Shave Oil to prepare your skin. Next, Shaving Cream is applied to the face in a rich, hot lather. A skilled Master Barbers use a traditional Straight Razor with precision and mastery to shave with the grain first, and then re-lather and shave once more against the grain for closeness. A second hot towel, infused with Lemon Essential Oil, is applied and followed by the After-Shave Mask, replenishing the skin’s moisture after the shave. Next, a cold towel, infused with Lavender Essential Oil, provides a soothing and relaxing experience. The Perfect Shave® concludes with the Hydrating Toner and the application of the After-Shave Balm to hydrate the freshly shaven skin.

Please be sure to include your sources so folks don't think you come up with this, meanwhile worried about the ghettos of Santiago!

upscale means they light candles, do back waxes and stroke your ego.
And your stomach.

Don't have much experience with salones, but in this one they offer something to drink (probably coffee)! Maybe that's common or maybe it isn't.

This one is in SD, not Santiago. Sorry Rey.

You are forgetting the upscale “Old Spice”.

If the cops find out Rey likes Royal Shaves, ane searching for Upscale treatments and Brazilian waxes they might raise the price on his "weekly Santo Domingo vehicle stop shakedowns".

Might as well put a hold chain around your neck.
