Hair Saloon for Men, an Honorable Rebellion

In desperate need of a trim, I typed my zip code and “haircut” into my iPhone. The first hit pointed me “Hair Saloon for Men”—a saloon-themed “salon” for guys. I was curious (and desperate) enough to book the appointment.

Although their corporate website leaves something to be desired (hairsaloon.com), the whole experience reminded me of three critical business lessons…

1. Know who you are.

I say this with the utmost respect, but Hair Saloon is not a upscale establishment. Sure, there’s no burnt hair perm smell from the chair next to you, but there’s also not a particular emphasis on style. Think of it as Barber Shop 2.0.
