Growing up in suburban McHenry, Sam knows how hot Chicago summers can be. But he says guys can stay cool and look good with the right grooming and shaving essentials, along with some well-chosen clothes. John O'Neill of suburban Wheaton took Sam's advice. The 42 year old electrician got a makeover and now has a cool new look that will take him into the fall.
Great style starts with grooming, Sam explains www.samsaboura.com. With the right products and technique, looking and feeling your best doesn't have to take a lot of work or time.
Sam's Summer Style
No excuses. Even with the warm weather, men can find ways to look great and stay cool this summer, Sam says. There are several summer trends for men which include:
Dad Makeover
John O'Neill is a 42 year-old electrician from Wheaton, looking to gain a sense of style. He works hard every day, and needs to wear comfortable clothes for his job, Sam explains. His work attire of blue jeans and plain t-shirts has trickled into his wardrobe outside of work. "John describes his style as not having one," Sam continues. "We're going to change that and make his daily regimen easier than he ever could imagine. I wanted to help John find his own sense of style, and show him how to keep that style in the summer, despite the heat and humidity."
A Master Barber from The Art of Shaving www.theartofshaving.com on Michigan Avenue gave John a hot towel shave and haircut. The Master Barber used the 4 Elements to a Perfect Shave, helping John achieve optimal shave results while relieving and preventing ingrown hairs, razor burn, tough beard and sensitive skin.
"John's new look will help him look and feel his best all the time, and is helping him stay cool during the dog days of summer. It's not about changing your style; it's about being the best you can be," Sam adds.
