Wakey wakey. Now you can get your caffeine fix while getting a shave and a haircut with new downtown Manhattan spot Three Seat Espresso & Barber.

Hybrid grooming spots aren’t a totally novel concept. Blind Barber literally put the bar in barbershop and you can shop for all your favorite products at the apothecary adjacent to Fellow Barber Williamsburg. But it’s always nice to be able to knock out a couple of needs in one go.

The idea for Three Seat came about when master barber Avi Mavlyanov cut Bluestone Lane co-founder Aaron Cook’s hair and conversation veered toward combining their individual talents. Four years later, they’re opening the doors to their dream of a café slash barbershop in the East Village. “My vision was to create a lifestyle inspired space, offering a number of services and providing great value for customers,” explains Cook. “We wanted to provide high quality food, coffee and service in a great space, all at a very competitive price point.”

In the grooming shop, there are three chairs (hence the name) where one can book a haircut, shave, or beard trim, and nothing runs more than $30. “The change in clientele [in the East Village] over the past five years has led us to create a new barbershop experience,” says Mavlyanov, who has plied his craft in barbershops all over the East Village. “Offering stylish cuts and a complimentary high quality beverage has already generated a positive reaction from the community.” Post- or pre-preening, customers can order up another coffee or espresso made with beans roasted by Ceremony Coffee Roasters of Annapolis, Maryland. For those who prefer the hard stuff, there will be a rotating menu of beers and wines. And the lightweights can choose from a handful of teas. Anyone who isn’t on a liquid diet can choose something a little more substantial from a tightly edited selection of food, including a chicken sandwich and house-made muesli.

If you like rain but hate getting wet, you can thank Burberry for the ability to spend time in the weather while still staying comfortable. In 1856, Thomas Burberry set out to protect people from the weather on the British Isles. He then revolutionized modern rainwear twenty years later with the invention of Gabardine. Before he stepped into the innovation space, rainwear was heavy and uncomfortable. Now, we can stroll to work and not worry too much about the rain or the cold. He didn't stop innovating, and now, nearly two centuries later, we have one of the powerhouse fashion brands in the world. His brand lives on today with some of the best Burberry colognes for men.

Making a great first impression is all about covering your bases. You can look amazing or say all the right things, but one wrong move will have you wondering why no one wants to be near you. Smelling great is a subconscious way to keep people thinking about you long after you are gone. They can often love the way you smell, and it does not even register in their memory. There was something about you they just can't put their finger on. It taps into their basic instincts. There are some fashion houses that excel in making you smell fantastic, and Prada is one of them. Here are the best Prada colognes for men.

Turn up the volume with the best haircare products for thinning hair

The best products to treat thinning hair without minoxidil

Getting your hair to behave can be extraordinarily difficult – and thinning hair is no exception. Hair loss is a problem faced by millions across the globe, affecting over 80% of males at some point in their lives. Not only is thinning hair more difficult to style, but it can also take a toll on one’s self-esteem. Though the plight of thinning hair is quite common, its roots – pardon the pun – aren’t always easily understood.

Hair loss and thinning hair can be caused by several underlying issues, from nutritional deficiencies to aggressive styling treatments. It’s easy to feel frustrated by this condition, especially when shedding locks turn up everywhere, from your hair brush bristles to the shower floor. Furthermore, many popular solutions for thinning hair are often invasive, expensive, or can lead to unpleasant side effects. One of the most commonly used products, Minoxidil, better known as Rogaine, is also toxic to fuzzy friends like dogs and cats.
