Hair Saloon For Men
Hair Saloon for Men was born out of one man's frustration with the status quo - unisex hair salons. To no avail, Tom Twellman searched to find a good haircut at a reasonable price in a comfortable atmosphere for men. Launched in St. Louis, Missouri in 1997, Twellman established the first Hair Saloon for Men. With its motto of "Honorable Rebellion Among Men" it offers its customers "Legendary Five-Star Service" that includes a complimentary beverage, shampoo and haircut, hot towel and mint and a complimentary shoeshine.
