In these days of male grooming and the application of face creams and gels, massages and nose trimming, it was only a matter of time before I plucked up the courage and booked myself in for an mot and service at Genco's.

Located in the up and coming street that is Devonshire road, I timidly walked down the street on a Saturday morning thinking about what they were going to do to me and wondering if they had enough strimmer wire left.

As I walked in it looked like a trendy enough sort of a place and I was ushered over to the leather chairs to have a seat and wait for my executioner. There was a longish wait which I filled with today's newspaper and a coffee - which was good news for the hangover.

So onto the business end - haircuts, styling, scalp massage, condition and colouring, get a standard shave or go for the full monty (exfoliate,deep cleanse and moisturise). In the "treatment room" they offer all sorts of massage, eyebrow reshaping and a whole lot of other things that men should be doing to themselves.

As for me - I had the scalp massage, condition and haircut - yes I bottled out, I think I will leave to those that are into that sort of thing and admit I am a coward.
