Truefitt and Hill – Luxury Grooming for Men

Truefitt & Hill a Luxury Barbershops in Hyderabad is a unique luxe barber shop which specializes in men’s grooming product and services. The prestigious history of Truefitt & Hill began in 1805 during the reign of H.M. King George III. Since then, the clientele has included members of the Royal Family, as well as members of visiting royal households. The gentlemen in Hyderabad can experience the royal services and grooming products and accessories to get a much needed break from their work or the summer heat. They have some really good packages that you can opt for a pre wedding makeover or a special occasion.

We spoke to Mr. Istayak Ansari – Director and Co-founder to know understand the brand at its core

How has the response been in Hyderabad so far?

The overall response in Hyderabad, has been as good as most of the cities we’ve been to. The response is calculated by looking at the number of customers that walk in the door and the number of customers we are retaining. All the services that we provide are very elaborate and are designed to pamper you like a royal – there are 5 steps or processes in the 45-minute Royal Shave that we offer. It’s an experience that we offer.

Have men these days become more open to splurging on grooming services?

Predominantly our customers come for haircuts. There is a huge beard trend and a lot of people are now maintaining beards, so a lot of people come for beard styling. Shaves are our signature service. Men are still not into manicures, pedicures; peel off masks, hair spa and those kinds of services, so we educate our customers on why they should be availing such services. The average customer took 2 services a month which now has become 3-4 services. That is a welcoming trend. Earlier men opted for a facial only before their wedding and that was a once in a lifetime thing but that’s now moved to going for a facial every 30-45 days.

What makes Truefitt and Hill different from other brands providing similar services?

If you compare Truefitt and Hill service to other brands providing similar services, there is no match in terms of what we offer because we’re not giving you the typical 15-minute haircut, our haircut is a 60-minute process. The process is how it would be for UK royalty. So essentially what we’re offering is not a service, it’s an experience and that’s what differentiates us from the rest of the players operating right now.

What is on the cards for the future?

We’ve launched hairstyling and beard-styling products in India this year. There are another 20-25 products we’ll be launching this year. We are in 4 cities right now and we’re opening in Ahmedabad, Mumbai and Dhaka soon. Apart from this we’re thinking of opening in Chennai, Kolkatta, Chandigarh, Indore, Jaipur and Pune before Diwali. We will go from 4 cities to about 11 this year.

The Spa- Sheraton Hyderabad Hotel

Contemplating over choices or going for a signature treatment, Sheraton’s spa is an abode to unwinding.  After we choose a treatment, (in our case it was a customised – Hot Stone Treatment) the therapist led us to our room which was compact but cosy and the lighting was adjusted as per the guest’s comfort zone. Hot Stone Massage at The Spa, Sheraton is highly recommended for all the guests. Imagine lying on a massage table, letting the stress and anxieties melt away as your muscles are therapeutically manipulated with comfortably placed hot stones. A regular deep tissue massage is incredibly relaxing, and the additional use of hot stones makes this massage therapy an increasingly popular pick at day spas. It is a process where the therapist uses smooth, heated stones as an extension of their own hands, by placing them on the body. The heat generated can be both deeply soothing and help loosen up tight muscles. The therapist makes you feel comfortable in the ambience and explains the procedure asking your stressed areas and starts off by mildly pressing and massaging your whole body with oil. After that she sanitizes the stones and heats them. The masseuse always holds the stones first before touching them to your body, which ensures that the temperature is not too hot. She will gently rub the stone into muscles and issues on both sides of the body; the firmness of the stone coupled with the heat enhances the curative benefits of massage. She might also leave heated stones in specific key points along your spine, in the palms of your hand, on your belly, or chest and help you relax. The process is repeated on the entire body for duration of 60-90 minutes, as per your choice. After wrapping up the massage, your body feels calm and de-stressed. Combining the hot stone procedure with a full body massage provides a very healing and effective experience. The hot stones also help expand blood vessels, which encourages blood flow throughout the body. They have a sedative effect that can relieve chronic pain, reduce stress and promote deep relaxation. However, the massage should not be taken by people who suffer from any heart disease or high blood pressure. The therapist shall accompany you to the refreshing steam, followed by an invigorating bath. The massage therapy ends by them serving a cup of green tea to leave you revitalized and energized for the day.
