SPIFFY: Fresh Takes on Men's Grooming

Veneers have a reputation problem. For some people, they’re the fastest way to a confident, polished smile. For others, they’re a one-way ticket to overly white, overly perfect “chiclets” that look nothing like real teeth.But when veneers go well... they're fantastic. They look natural, they stay fixed in place, and can last 2-3 decades.Let’s make sure you know how to get great veneers, and what the long-term care and cost will look like.In this episode of SPIFFY, Adam Hurly sits down with LA-based cosmetic dentist Jon Marashi—whose clients include Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Kate Hudson, and more—to explain how veneers are installed, when "no prep" veneers are a viable solution, need vs. want in cosmetic dentistry (and why he sometimes tells patients "no"), as well as the outlook on longterm pricing for these things and why you might not have to pay such a steep bill for great veneers in the future. Marashi even has advice on how to seek out lower costs today without compromising on quality results.And yeah, Dr. Marashi may have changed Adam's own tune on how he reports about veneers in the future... it will be with a lot more enthusiasm, but no less warning for what can go wrong if you cut corners on cost or attentive care.📲 Follow Blue PrintWebsite + free men’s grooming newsletter: https://grooming.tipsYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@blueprintgrooming Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blueprintgroomingTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@blueprintgrooming 👨‍⚕️ GuestFollow Dr. Jon Marashi: https://www.instagram.com/drjonmarashi🪥 Episode SponsorSURI electric toothbrush: https://fave.co/3OMieaN 🧼 Product of the EpisodeNaomi After-Cooking Hand Scrub: https://amzn.to/3OZULmm 🎧 CreditsSPIFFY is a production of Blue Print by Adam Hurly.

Behind every male celebrity on the red carpet is someone most people never see: the celebrity groomer. The person making sure the hair, skin, beard lines, and last-minute touchups are flawless before the cameras start flashing.In this episode of SPIFFY, grooming journalist Adam Hurly (GQ, Robb Report, and founder of Blue Print by Adam Hurly) sits down with celebrity men’s groomer Kristen Shaw, the trusted behind-the-scenes pro responsible for prepping A-list clients like David Corenswet, Seth Rogen, Jonathan Bailey, Andrew Scott, Matt Bomer, and more.Kristen takes us inside the real work of red-carpet grooming: what happens in the hours before an actor steps onto the Oscars carpet, how groomers balance skincare, hair styling, and subtle makeup for high-definition cameras, and why the smallest details—depuffing, beard lines, texture, lighting—can completely change how someone photographs.They dig into the practical grooming lessons any guy can steal from Hollywood: how to make your haircut look intentional, the products Kristen keeps in her kit at all times, and the simple habits that help men look camera-ready, even if the only camera around is their phone.🌀 Episode SponsorThank you to episode sponsor Philips Norelco OneBlade Pro 360, a hybrid grooming tool designed to trim, edge, and shave any length of hair.

Hair loss is one of those slow-motion problems that’s easy to ignore… until a photo from above makes it impossible to unsee. So what’s actually happening when your hair starts thinning? And what should you do first if you want to keep it as dense as possible for as long as possible?In this foundational episode of SPIFFY, grooming journalist Adam Hurly (GQ, Robb Report, Esquire... and founder of Blue Print by Adam Hurly) steps out of the host chair and into the expert seat, while producer Hady Mawajdeh takes over the mic. Hady asks the questions most guys are already Googling: the difference between recession and crown thinning, why “starting later” can change what you’re able to recover, and how to build a realistic, sustainable routine for hair retention.Adam breaks down the two big medical heavy hitters, the dreaded shedding phase, why consistency matters more than perfection, and what to consider if you want to add higher-cost “boosters” in clinic or at home. They also talk supplements, essential oils, why “hair loss shampoo” is mostly marketing, and what styling and haircare products can do to make your hair look fuller today, even if they’re not growing new hair.Disclaimer: Nothing in this show is medical advice.

The numbers don't lie: Men are consuming beauty/grooming products more than ever... and some reports have them spending more money on self care products per month than women. So why isn't there a dedicated retail space for this customer, considering the grooming industry will pass $100 billion by 2034?In this episode, Adam and journalist Brennan Kilbane discuss the lack of a "Sephora for men", the reason behind it, and they consider what an optimal grooming retail experience should entail.-🌀GUEST: Brennan Kilbane, News and Features Editor at The Business of Beauty (for The Business of Fashion): https://www.instagram.com/brennankilbane/Medical Disclaimer: Nothing in this show should be used as personalized medical device.

It’s not all CGI and makeup: There’s a reason many A-listers are looking way more refreshed these days, from Brad Pitt to Lindsay Lohan. It’s the face lift, which is better than ever. (And, if you read most articles,you’ll know it is more expensive than ever too… unless you know a few research + smart negotiating tactics.) Also… what is the difference between a men’s facelift and a women’s?In this episode, grooming journalist Adam Hurly (GQ, Robb Report, founder of Blue Print by Adam Hurly) is joined by NYC facial plastic surgeon Dr. Sam Rizk, aesthetics industry journalist Tatiana Boncompagni (WSJ, NYT, Goop) and esteemed NYC dentist Dr. Larry Rosenthal (who got a facelift) to dive into the different types of facelifts, how they are performed for men, how to find a great surgeon at a lower price, and what to expect for the recovery and results.🌀GUESTSDr. Sam Rizk: https://www.instagram.com/drsamrizk/ Dr. Larry Rosenthal: https://www.instagram.com/rosenthal_larry/ Journalist Tatiana Boncompagni: https://www.instagram.com/tatiboncompagni/ Medical Disclaimer: Nothing in this show should be used as personalized medical device.
