The Mens Room

Lowering this review one star (thought about 2) because of the inconsistency on their hours. If you come from a distance be aware they may close a
early, or may not open at all (over an 8 day period I stopped by four times — locked up tight). No answer on the phone either.

What a difference a day makes… adding a star for much improved customer service.
On a return visit I encountered a different salesperson, who was outstanding. This gentleman knew his inventory, was helpful and engaged and made some great recommendations. We walked out with a bag full of goodies – even my mom bought something!
The wide selection of products here enticed my return visit. It really is nice to be able to see and smell the products in person. Prices are also generally competitive with on line outlets.

My journey began this beautiful yet balmy Sunday morning. I was out for a weekend stroll with my mother and had solely come to the area to visit the mens room. I had mentioned my interest in visiting, and she was more than obliged to assist in any way in keeping her baby boy (30!) clean cut lol.
It was quite easy to find, as I knew exactly what to look for. The storefront itself is quite sleek looking, and very inviting. I enjoyed the abundance of samples and testers they had available. I walked out smelling like you’d imagine Kevin Sorbo to smell after walking off set.
My sole intention was to gather more information to the world of wet shaving. I intended to also purchase some Proraso shave soap, which they had plenty of in stock. My research was limited, and I was hoping to be able to gather information. I expected to be up sold, ignored, perhaps laughed at by my lack of knowledge. Enter Jason, quite possibly one of the most personable and wonderful sales reps I have ever dealt with.
He was able to answer each and every one of my questions. He elaborated, had historical stories and facts that I had never known! Wet shaving truly is an art, and he embraces it well. Not only did he explain to me everything I asked about, he demonstrated a proper hand lathering technique for me. No matter how many YouTube videos you watch, nothing beats seeing it in person. Awesome!
He actually saved my skin, and sold me the proper variety of Proraso for my skin type. I honestly didn’t know squat about razors. All I knew was that I wanted a double edge razor. I had my eyes set on one I researched online. Thankfully, I got to hold that one in my hand at the shop. I Did not like the way the larger razor felt in my hand. Had it not been for this shop, I would have ordered one I disliked online. So, I bought the perfect one right there. I simply had to support such a fine brick and mortar store. Their price was spot on, and nothing beats the tactile feel of such an important tool before purchasing.
Thank you Jason, for going above and beyond. We will most certainly be back. Skaven or not, you are an exemplary fellow and we thank you for your time! We will see you in a few weeks for a new badger brush!

Awesome store, it’s nice for a change to be able to touch and see your shaving and grooming gear before purchasing. It’s a great store with a great staff that is very knowledgable and a pleasant demeanor.

Great store with lots of products for the shaving enthusiasts! The manager was working and is very helpful and well informed about the different products. They have a lot of samples out and make it easy to try scents. It’s a great set up, would definitely recommend making a stop here.

This is a business for men who like, no — men who love, the ritual of wet shaving. On the positive side, there is a wide selection of products available from all over the world — shaving creams, balms, various types of razors, including straight razors, blades… all to make your experience as sensual as wet shaving can be. If there is a negative, I found that they were out of some of the products I was looking for and would have purchased. If you have something in mind to buy I suggest calling first to make sure they have it in stock especially if you live outside of the area.
Miguel is helpful, and because he has used a number of the products, he can make useful suggestions.
I recommend coming in to look at what’s available.

Awesome shaving selection and service! My husband said they carry brands that he can normally only find online!

As a local here in the Coachella Valley, I am always thrilled to find specialty stores that actually have knowledge about their merchandise as well an impressive assortment of higher end products. The Men’s Room has both.
I was warmly greeted by the salesman, Miguel, who proceeded to answer all of my questions about starting to shave again in my 40’s after using only clippers for 20+ years. I was beyond impressed with the samples of almost everything they sell — as well as the wealth of knowledge Miguel had to share with me.
I walked out the proud owner of an entire new shaving set — razor, blades, chrome stand, 2 shaving creams (will never buy anything in a can again!) a fantastic shaving cream brush, and one of their signature shaving cups. I have been using these products for almost 6 weeks now and could not be happier with the outcome. Miguel guided me to the exact products that worked well for me. Thank you, Miguel!
Consider me a customer for life!

I strongly recommend.
I was shaving with an old gillette and using barbosol shaving cream. But I knew something was wrong because my skin was constantly irritated. And after watching the new James Bond movie (the scene were he shaves with a straight razor), I was inspired and determined to shave like a man.
Long story short, I searched online and found this place. I was a little hesitant on coming here because it was 3 hours away, and I had to make sure I met with Miguel’ because «some other guy» was getting poorly rated on customer service.
It turns out the «some other guy» and Miguel was the same person. I won’t disagree with some of the bad reviews: Miguel is a social butterfly on his phone and speaks very quickly (especially if you don’t understand what he’s talking about). But bottom line, he’s there to help you get a great shave. He is all business, and if you’re business, he’s a great guy to learn from. Slow him down, and don’t be afraid to ask questions, and he will show you whats up.
After my trip, and laying doing some serious cash, I arrived to shaving Shangri-​La. I now enjoy shaving, and the difference is VERY noticeable. My skin irritation has gone away, and I’ve been told my skin and face look 8 years younger.
The Men’s room is definitely the way to go. I even bought an entire new set for my cousin on christmas.
My best thanks to Miguel.

I have a full beard and sensitive skin. I like to sometimes be clean shaven and sometimes like to have stubble. This place has EVERYTHING. I have come to Palm Springs from Los Angeles specifically to get items from this store. This is an unassuming place inside of another store. You can easily miss it and you definitely do not want to. Miguel always seems to be the person working here and it’s great because he is super honest about the products and what he think will work best for you. He has steered me in the right direction many times. To me, proper shaving is key to having young skin. The less damage you do, the longer you will have a youthful appearance.

I have been doing some research on alternate shaving techniques and was pleasantly surprised to come across The Men’s Room. I’m born and raised in the Coachella Valley and thought I knew the desert and its shops inside and out, but have not once heard about this little shop– I was thrilled to embark on my newest adventure to a store I have yet been to. Walking into The Men’s Room was simply a hidden treasure! Everything possible related to men’s grooming was displayed beautifully, samples/​testers were almost next to every product and warm greeting of the staff member made it all the better. As I walked around like a kid in a candy store I was overwhelmed with the amount of product choices I had so I asked the man behind the counter if he could give me a bit of advice. He was very kind, helpful and knowledgeable; he even took the time to give me a little tutorial by the convenient sink bowl in the shop.
I left The Men’s Room excited to try my new purchases, very pleased with the customer care and even left with a bit more knowledge thanks to the staff member. I definitely will be going back again!

The Men’s Room has become a ‘must-​go-​to’ place. I have visited Palm Springs many times and this is always on my list of places to go. I love their products and the staff is always personable. The man in the back (it’s always the same guy) has been extremely helpful with my shaving needs. I ask a ton of questions and always walk out with knowledge… and of course product. Thanks for the shopping experience and customer care. See you soon ‘man in the back!’

I’ll start with the good. One of the few locations I’ve found in the area with traditional shaving supplies. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of razors and accessories that this store has. There are also testers for all of the colognes, aftershaves, and soaps/​creams so you know exactly what you are getting. The prices are not outrageous for the products either.
Now to the downfall of this store. The lack of assistance from the store worker was astonishing. When I told him about my recent transition to wet shaving, his response was very condescending and came across as though he were mocking me, I had driven well over an hour to get there, so I shrugged that off. The staff member then went back to his spot behind the desk to continue watching his soap opera on the computer. There was never an offer for assistance, or a question of what I was looking for. It was as though my presence was interfering with his daily routine. I would have thought that I had done something to offend him, until two other gentlemen came in and received just as warm of a welcome as I did.
My whole purpose in going to this small specialty shop was to test (smell) some products, and more importantly interact with someone with a little more knowledge on those products. I was really hoping this store would have been that «hands on» location for me, but after the service I received I will not be returning. Looks like it’s back to ordering off the Internet.

Great clothing and great service. I bought a pair of shorts here, but there were so many more that I wanted. The service was cool too. The chick behind the counter was really nice and helpful.

Wow a great little shop the help was great! I ended up getting a pair of jeans and a couple shirts, I thought I got a great deal for what I got! I will be going back to do more shopping here!

Growing up, I would watch my dad shave with a butterfly double edge razor. When I needed to get a haircut, he’d take me to a classic barber shop with a rotating barber pole, faux wood paneling, muscle car mags and Playboys. My first shave there was with a straight razor. Growing up and away from those implements I started using Mach_​_​razors. In order to seem fresh, I’m sure they’ll eventually develop the ten blade articulating head razor by the end of this decade. Anyhow, I’ve begun to realize that my dad was onto something.
For the last few years, I have transitioned back to the classic implements and Men’s Room is one of the places that sells them. Shaving this way may take a little longer, but I enjoy a better result. Plus, there’s few moments during the day when you’ve got a quiet time to yourself. It’s almost meditative.
The Men’s Room has a comprehensive collection of men’s shaving and grooming products. Whether you visit the store, give them a call or check out their website they are also a great informational resource.
