1) We know how to cut men’s hair. If you’re like some men, you’re probably going to some unisex chain salon. Most of the time, you will walk out of these places with a bad haircut. Sometimes, your haircut could look decent for the first week or so, but then it could grow out into a horrible bowl. The problem is that many of the people who work at salons are not trained to cut men's hair. The difference between a beauty shop and our shop is the difference between a bad looking haircut and a great one.
2) We are trained to cut with clippers. Clippers are the main tool in cutting a man’s hair. Most stylists are trained to use scissors. Their training is also geared towards catering to women’s hair. They become experts in up-do's and perms. These are things a man has no need for. That’s why when you ask the cute stylist at a chain salon to use the number 2 on the clippers, you walk away with a bad haircut. She’s probably not well versed in how to use them. At Studio 404, we use the clippers with finesse.
3) Studio 404 is a great place to talk with other men. At the chain salons, you will hardly ever talk to the woman who cuts your hair. The women who cut your hair usually end up chatting it with the other women in the salon, while you will sit there awkwardly. At Studio 404, you can feel at ease to say what’s on your mind. There is conversation about politics, cars, sports, and family and business. Guys read the newspaper and comment on current events. In between the banter, jokes are told and laughs are had. And everyone is involved: the staff, the customers getting their haircut, and the customers waiting to get their haircut. Adding to the enjoyment is that a variety of men take part in the conversation; young, old, and middle-aged all join in. So, if you want to be part of the conversation, head over to Studio 404.
4) It’s a great activity to do with your father or son. Men need traditions that can help bond them together. Visiting our shop with your father or son is a great tradition to begin in your family. This is a great way to bond with the men in your life!
5) Every time you visit Studio 404, you may just feel manlier. Maybe it’s the combination of the smell of hair tonics and the all-men atmosphere or maybe it's the Majestic barber chairs. But more so, it’s the awareness of the tradition practiced in our shop. Just great haircuts and great conversations. When you walk out of our shop with a sharp haircut, you can’t help but feel a bit of manly swagger in your step.
