Beer in Mens Salons Not Just For Fun!

I imagine you’ve noticed the mens salons popping up nationwide, from franchised versions to the revised and updated down home barbershops. Mens salons are back with a vengeance and I’m glad to hear it!  Guys have needed a place to go that caters to their grooming needs and life style interests.

It was already 4 years ago that I posted this article “Mens salons have a big future”  which includes a LA Times snippet of a man who saw the market for new mens salons and within 4 years time opened, Major League Trim . . . great name!  He was a pioneer in introducing the modernized barbershop including barber stations, each with its own 13-inch TV with access to cable sports stations.

“Mens Salons Inovating With Beer” Since that time there have been many mens salons that have cropped up with services including, scalp and hand massages, hot towel straight edge shaves, shoe shines, manscaping (shaving or waxing off excess hair) and the sale of mens skin care, hair products, sports paraphernalia and even cigars!But recently I heard of the newest mens salons service menu offering, The Beer Rinse . . . Brilliant!! There are mens salons that serve the occasional beer or wine to their clients but, A mens salon in New York City has improved on the concept by offering a beer rinse as a hair service. Using beer as a rinse for the hair isn’t new, but it is new in some salons as a service to add shine and make hair appear thicker.

Supposedly, real brewed beer contains vitamins and proteins that nourish the hair and add body and texture to hair. It’s also said to have an acidic quality that strips the hair of product buildup and contains added sugars that tightens the cuticle for extra shine. I haven’t tried it, but If you want to try a “beer rinse” treatment at home, open a bottle of brew, take a few sips and let it sit on the counter to become flat and room temperature.  Simply shampoo and rinse as usual. Pour remaining bottle of on hair and massage in.  Rinse thoroughly with cold water.

First, mens salons brought in flat screen TV’s with sports, ESPN and cigars, and it keeps evolving.  Now ‘beer’ is served as a relaxing beverage AND as an old hair remedy revisited.

Best Hair Salon Coupons

The best Hair salon coupons are a win-win!

Here’s a great opportunity for best hair salons to bring in new clients, grow specific services AND for customers to get great one-of-a-kind hair salon coupons!! Groupon.com offers one daily coupon to its membership for normally 50 to 70% off regular prices for hair salon services, restaurants and much more.
“Checkout Groupon for the Best Hair Salon Bargains”
One coupon is announced daily, in each of its more than 40 city locations, to members by email. Members have typically 24 hours to sign up if interested. The coupon becomes valid only when a required number of people sign up for the deal.

The required number of sales necessary to seal the deal is set by the participating business and the folks at Groupon. This way it costs nothing for businesses to be featured on the site and Groupon takes its cut only when the minimum number of discount coupons has been purchased.

Cleo Patrie, owner of Haven Salon in Minneapolis, Minnesota told me, “the response to the ad campaign we ran for a day far out-reached our expectations.” She ran a $75.00 coupon for $150.00 worth of hair salon services. They met her minimum requirement of sales early and sold over 575 coupons by the end of the day!

The folks at Groupon report that the paying customer is not “looking for the perfect deal,” but rather is ‘’looking for the perfect excuse to try something new.” Better yet they report the average Groupon customer spends 60% more than the value of the Groupon!

Growing Hair Out . . . How to Be GOOD TO GROW!

“Growing Hair Out” You had the hottest short hairstyle on the scene this fall. Now, there’s just one problem—it’s winter, and you want to move on! While there’s no miracle pill to make
hair grow back quickly, Frances Dubose of London Hair in Mount Pleasant, SC offers some tips for making the seasonal change with
grace and style.

• “Pick a hairstyle you’re growing hair out for’ and have your hair dresser cut your hair accordingly,” says Dubose. This will help ease you into the longer hairstyle you want.

• Avoid the dreaded in-between stage while growing hair out with trims every four to six weeks—wait any longer, and you may lose the shape, become frustrated, and cut it all off all over again.

• You can get immediate length with a flat iron, or use it to blend awkward lines.

• As you’re growing hair out, take the opportunity to experiment with different hairstyles along the way. ‘The growing hair out part can be fun,” says DuBose. “Try new things, like having your hair cut from underneath for a new shape, or let the under layers grow and keep layering the top”
