Elite Event: JF Men

The anticipation of pampering is killing me.
One of the more relaxed Elite events I have been to, I’m honestly more excited for the service I got to book for this weekend! JF Men were great hosts, and while I was planning to go to the gym right after, I couldn’t help but sip on a glass of champagne which felt so refreshing in the harsh summer humidity. We were lucky enough to book a couple’s deep-​tissue massage. Scheduling was a breeze and I absolutely can’t wait for our appointment.
Thanks to Ruggy and JF Men. You’ll be hearing from me again real soon!

JF men, an upscale salon that caters to men. This was a nice break from the usual food and drink event.
Located on 61^st and Park Ave., inside the Lowes Regency Hotel. (When you walk in the Park Ave. entrance bear right and walk towards the back)
I wasn’t really in the mood for any hard liquor, so I just stuck with the champagne and the wine. It served as a great compliment to the event.
We were given a tour of the different rooms and the services that JF Men offers by the salon staff. Julien Farel also went around and greeted us.
There was a main room with a few barber chairs, hand stitched with Italian leather, and a couple shampoo chairs. There was also a couple of private rooms/​treatment rooms, where clients can get away from the New York hustle and bustle. Relaxing, pampering, and luxury come to mind.
Lastly, we were given free vouchers to sample what JF Men has to offer at a later date.
From speaking with the staff, their clientele includes celebrities and CEO’s. Kinda cool to get the opportunity to experience and tour what a high end salon is really all about.
It was nice seeing everyone and meeting new Unilocalers.
Thanks Ruggy and JF Men for an interesting event.

Wow. JF Men isn’t a huge space — especially when compared to the upstairs counterpart. But it packs so much in! It has everything you need for a men’s part salon-​part spa. The space has a modern, clean feel and truly offers the entire gamut of services. A full-​service salon, you can get everything from a simple cut and color, to facials, massages and more.
Men now have their exclusive place to get their spa on and a solid haircut. While I have yet to experience their services — I know others that have. JF Men takes it to the next level with verrry accommodating staff — from stylists and the front desk reception to aestheticians and masseurs.
This event introduced us to the JF Men services and facilities. A big thank you to Julian Farel and his team for hosting us, and shout out to Ruggy and Unilocal for putting this awesome event together.

When you walk into JF Men, it’s like walking into Superman’s Fortress of Solitude. Separate from non-​employee females, JF Men is literally just for men! Apparent in their décor, with scantily-​clad-​yet-​artistically-​nude female models adorning the walls so you can stare without feeling like a creep (because, hey — it’s art?) this is the spot to get your cut and shave.
The owner has taken every single detail and fine-​tuned it to be the premier luxury salon for men who give a hoot about what they look like. From reclining massage chairs with built-​in massage functions hand-​made in Italy, to private VIP rooms for those of you who are too bashful to get a hot parafin hand wax dip or facials in front of other men (not me, yo’, I flaunt that sh-​.)
For those who wish to be pampered, and know they’re worth it — JF Men is for you.

want LUX treatment and you’re a dudes? JF Men has got what you’re looking for… cuts n color, spa esque treatments, massages, and more.
a swank oasis for gents located in the Loews Regency Hotel! bear right in the lobby and head down the short flight of stairs.
JF Men is not gigantic. it’s got a fair amount of coziness to the space while still maintaining a non-​cramped air. it feels like a masculine modern haircutter-​y for men. lots of bold lighting, clean visual aesthetic, lots of polish, and nice art flair.
the evening began with an flow of champagne, wine, whiskey, and other boozes via the bar set up in a nook of the salon. the staff took us through a brief tour of JF Men’s services and space. the services range from a haircut to bear styling to facials to massages and more. outside of just grooming and pampering in a classy set-up…there’s a unspoken serenity to the JF Men space. an escape from the hustle and bustle of work life… a chance to power down that iphone, close your eyes, and soak in calmness.
the kind folks at JF Men even kicked in a voucher for a return visit. classy and generous! if you are looking to gift something to a certain mister in your life… this would be a good start!
big thank you to Ruggy for putting together a cool relaxing gents event. occasionally we need those respites from the working, gyming, boozing, stressing, and repeating of NYC life!
drops mic, so i can fully enjoy this cut in peace.
i out.
zzz.

Chill afternoon of drinks at a schwank salon… real upper east side stuff. The stylists were all friendly, helpful, and a voucher for a return visit wasn’t just icing on the cake, it was a whole ‘nother freaking cake you get to enjoy. Thanks Ruggy for organizing!

Chardonnay, a very sophisticated and high class environment, and Unilocalers — what more do you need? This was a great event and I can really tell this place was put together with materials and stylists with a sense of purpose. It’s nicely located and tucked inside the hotel, and the service and all of the amenities that they offered were nice. Will be sure to try and recommend this place to others!

A good old fashion bromance session w/​fellow Unilocal gentlemen and the staff of JF men.
A classy event sipping on champagne, wine and maybe a few others. We got a chance to meet the stylist and a tour of the place. JK Men offered a complimentary hair cut which was very gracious of them. At first, I was a bit hesitant to accept the haircut because I have been using the same stylist for the past year or so. After speaking with Jeff and getting to know him little better, I felt I would be in trusted hands. Life is about adventure so why not try something new. Jeff was very knowledgeable about hair and has a ton of experience. So I look forward to my appointment.
The place is very spacious and clean. They even have private rooms. The betta fish is their official/​unofficial pet/​mascot. The overall space is elegant. It was cool to learn that JF Men are the exclusive stylist for the US Open (tennis).
Thanks to Unilocal team, JF Men, Ruggy for an awesome event.

Guys need to feel pampered and well groomed too.
Aside from the normal eat and drink event, tonight’s event catered to Unilocal elites and their plus ones to a higher level of shave and cut.
Scotch and Champagne quenched the thirst of guests while the stylist and Sam in the front introduced us their high class services offered.
Elites and their guests were treated to future appointments and cards for their next visit, with a complementary haircut for men.
Will surely make my next appointment with Jeffery, one of the stylist with whom I met and he’s been cutting hair since he was 16 as a hobby and moved up the ranks.
Special thanks to Ruggy @yelp and JF Salon for such a warm welcome to their exquisite hair and grooming services!

Thanks to Ruggy for organizing this unique event and to the staff of JF Men for hosting us male Unilocalers. This event catered to a very specific group of people: those that are 1) male and 2) have hair to be cut. To be fair, they do offer various shaving, facial, and massage services…
JF Men is located on the ground floor of the Loews Regency hotel, although it wasn’t obvious where to go once I entered the lobby. We male Unilocal elites that care about our appearances got to mingle with the various stylists and personnel that work for JF Men. In fact, we even got to meet Julien who was impeccably dressed. The salon seems like a very comfortable and relaxed place to get groomed and if the staff is any indication of the kind of service that you will get at JF Men, then I am very optimistic about JF Men’s services. For any kind of luxury experience, it is indeed the people that make the experience and add the most value. The staff was very pleasant to talk to and appeared very enthusiastic about the services and products that JF offers, I am looking forward to using the voucher for a nice hair cut in the near future.
