If you are a hairstylist who wants to gain awesome experience in a great environment, Sorbet MAN and Sorbet Drybars need you! Sorbet MAN is the distinguished big brother of Sorbet Salons in South Africa. A dudes-only destination and offering in one of our over 20 stores. We’re talking about hot towel shaves and even hotter haircuts; keeping unwanted hairy situations tidy and the kind of man-icured hands James Bond would boast while handling a well-deserved martini. Cue Sorbet MAN: where we barber, shave, wax, tweeze, thread, massage, cleanse and condition. Considered among the best barbers in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban, we’re a team of professionals who are here for the regular guy: the quintessential SA dude who can suit up, glove up, dad up and man up to invest in his swagger, in a gentlemen’s bar that doubles-up as a new-age man cave. Our Barbers are a cool cutting crowd of blokes and babes with one solid agenda: to groom you, good & proper. At Sorbet Man, we take our cuts & shaves seriously, with only the finest products in our hands and the keenest attention to detail. The barber shop menu extends from cuts & shaves to colour treatments too, with a whole lot of style to choose from. Apart from a full house of on-trend treatments – from beard grooming to manscaping – Sorbet Man not only has it all in one bar but raises it by stocking international brands like Dermalogica, Blue Beards, American Crew and MVRCK– as well as Sorbet MAN’s signature skincare and body range. Sorbet DRYBAR is the distinguished little sister of Sorbet Salons in South Africa with over 15 stores. You may think we’re just another hair salon. Not quite. Sorbet Drybar has been developed for our guests and their lifestyle, so we offer affordable blowdrys in a relaxed, funky environment, complete with in-salon entertainment to give our guest ‘that feeling’. No cuts or colours. We’re in-and-out. Quick-quick. It’s speed and convenience, with a big scoop of the Sorbet experience you’ve come to love and expect. Our stylists are true ambassadors of everything Sorbet stands for. Trained at Sorbet Support Office, using hair products from the Sorbet Drybar Haircare Collection, Moroccanoil, Redken and Pureology brands, INOAR Treatments as well as Keratin Smoothing Treatments and styling aids from the Veaudry & GHD ranges.
