Aug 28, 2007 -- Men's salons offer guy-friendly pampering at a price
Clark gets his hair cut at place where he pays between $10 and $13 dollars. His executive producer, Christa, now saves triple digits (pet visit!) by going to an Aveda Institute and getting her hair cut by stylists in training. On the other end of the spectrum, The Dallas Morning News reports that there's a new trend among men to go to expensive salons that are geared specifically to guys. Knock Outs is one chain that's in 11 states and has 123 locations that feature female stylists in shorts and tight T-shirts. Guys also get a free beer during each appointment. There's another chain called Sport Clips that's in 32 states and has 400 locations. This one uses a locker-room theme with stylists in tennis shoes and sweat pants -- sorry guys, no women in tight clothes. Yet another chain offers an annual membership where you can get unlimited cuts for $525/year. Not exactly a cheap option compared to Clark's clip shop!
