Looking for some inspiration on what to get your dad, grandpa, uncle or father figure for Father’s Day? It’s easy to be unsure or bored with your gift choices these days. Look no further; the staff at Imperial Salon & Spa has compiled a list of men’s essentials courtesy of our new line, multi-award-winning Baxter of California!
Rooted in California, this line has natural, plant based ingredients that are all too familiar for a Cali native. From Cedarwood to Rosemary Oil to Tea Tree Oil, these key ingredients were used to create a men’s luxury line all their own. Since 1965, Baxter has evolved from a mere moisturizer sold at a barber shop -- the Super Shape Cream -- to a worldwide brand that curates the essentials in men’s skincare, hair care and beard grooming.
Baxter has tons of products under its belt, but thanks to the recommendations from our Imperial staff, these four are sure make excellent gifts for any dad on their special day!
