The team, including owner and barber Sarah McGlynn, are sticklers for detail and ensure no one leaves their shop looking anything less than perfect.

This import from London's upscale Mayfair district took a gamble when it opened its Hong Kong store in 2011. At the time, specialised men's grooming was barely a blip on anyone's radar but now, it seems the city's men can't get enough. After all, Gentlemen's Tonic certainly knows how to treat a man right—customers are greeted with a drink before being escorted to one of the private treatment rooms.

Straddled somewhere between a salon and a spa, Gentlemen's Tonic offers everything from a shave or a haircut to full-blown packages like the hangover cure—aptly named "The Hemingway"—which includes an aromatherapy facial, neck, shoulder and scalp massage, and of course, a Bloody Mary.
