• Gabriel came in with a pre-groomed mane, so Diaz just tightened it up by finely trimming the sides and keeping it nice and long at the top with a slight side bend. "You see a lot of guys doing the hard part on the side, very 1920s style, with a little bit
• Before shaving, Diaz suggests placing a hot towel on your face. The moisture will loosen the hair follicles and ensure a smoother, less-agitating shave.
• When it comes to receiving a hot shave treatment, Diaz says it's all about the experience. "I think it's about the experience of being pampered for the guys. They don't really have a lot of things that they can do, so I feel like it's just an experience f
• Diaz advises to constantly change your blades and never use ones that are too old. She uses a straight blade on her clients. "It gets a nice, close, tight shave and it probably lasts longer than a regular shave. Usually I have my guests tell me it'll last
• Once Diaz was done with him, Gabriel had a cleaner, edgier new look to flaunt.
• While Gabriel barely needed a snip, Daniela came in ready to lose some inches. "It's slightly reparative, the cut that we're doing," said Silvestri. "She has a lot of hair, a lot of beautiful hair. The ends are a little bit stringy, a little bit tentacle-
• Daniela has a full head of thin hair which, according to Silvestri, is ideal but only if you keep everything focused on the crown area. Before giving her a "big, bangin' blowdry," he chopped off two inches of hair and added some face framing layers. "She'

Maybe it's the unceasing amount of hearts, maybe it's the unescapable sea of pink that drowns us all. Whatever it is, Valentine's Day isn't the rose-colored holiday it sets out to be. It's overwhelming to say the least, as restaurants get booked, the good Hallmark cards get bought out and gift ideas become slimmer and slimmer by the anniversary. But here's one idea that you've probably never thought about: haircuts for you and your beau! For the month of February, Junior and Hatter is offering a couple's package, Love at First Snip. Ladies can get their hair trimmed and styled while their mates get their manes and beards groomed, all for the insanely spectacular price of $125. And as a bonus, you get a snazzy little mug shot of the two of you flaunting your new do's together (see above).

It sounded too good to be true, so we asked Miami's cutest blogger couple Daniela Ramirez of Nany's Klozet and Gabriel Sanchez of Gabriel Sanchez Photography to give the package its very first spin. Click through for shots of their experience, plus haircare tips from the salon's co-owner Mario Silvestri and male groomer extraordinaire Lori Diaz.
