X'clusive Looks

X'clusive Looks, a studio at 10050 Legacy Dr. in Frisco, was launched by a licensed esthetician whose years of work have focused on skin conditions affecting men. The studio serves clients across Dallas-Fort Worth and North Texas, including Plano, McKinney, Prosper, Allen and North Dallas.

The studio's view is that beard care begins with the skin underneath the beard. Skin health comes first, and the benefits to the beard follow from that. It contrasts this with barbershops and beard product companies, which it says treat beards like hair, and it aims to teach men to care for their skin and beard as one routine.

The Men's Hybrid Facial is a 60 to 75 minute session that includes a consultation. It begins with a skin sensitivity assessment, then moves through cleansing, an anti-inflammatory treatment, intensive hydration and a protective sealing step. The studio recommends a facial every 4 to 6 weeks for the first three months, then as needed for maintenance. Men's Scalp Rejuvenation takes 45 to 60 minutes and includes a scalp analysis, deep cleansing, exfoliation, an anti-inflammatory treatment and scalp balancing. The two can be combined, with one of each about two weeks apart in the first month. The Beard Growth Treatment is aimed at irritated, dry or uncomfortable beard skin and is adjusted to each client's sensitivity level after a discussion at consultation. Monthly maintenance treatments are offered to help keep beard skin irritation from returning. The studio describes these treatments as soothing and not painful.

The studio sells a proprietary line of skin-first beard care products for home use, including Skin-First Beard Butter (from $16.99 USD), Beard Sauce Skin-First Beard Treatment ($32.00 USD), the Beard Prep + Detox Kit ($24.99 USD), beard growth kits, a beard exfoliator, beard shampoo and beard balm. Gift cards are available, and new customers who sign up for email receive 10% off a first online order. Online booking is available through the website.

The business describes itself as a premiere male spa studio and says it is trusted by Dallas-Fort Worth professionals. Its website shows a 4.9 rating from 208 reviews. The business says most men notice significant improvement in beard growth within 2 to 3 weeks of treatment, and that one professional facial can show better results in 3 weeks than products alone do in 3 months. These are the studio's own claims.

Treats beard care as skincare, focusing on the skin underneath the beard and describing its methods as medically informed.
