Editorial Review for American Male Salon – by Katie Heffernan

In Short
Tapping into a growing trend, this full-service salon was designed with the modern man in mind. Many locations provide complimentary beverages (read: beer) and some strategically set up TVs so guys can pass the time watching sports while getting their toes buffed. Classic barbershop services include haircuts, color and hot towels, but newer takes on male grooming go as far as mini facials, skin-conditioning paraffin hand dips, scalp massages and waxing services.

For a head-to-toe transformation, indulge in full-body packages created for stress relief, professional-looking appearances and more.

Know Before You Go

Boys under 12 as well as teenagers, or young men as the salon refers to them, are also welcome to come in for services.

Hair Color

Going grey? Request the camoflauge coloring services, which will darken your hair. If you'd rather look like you've been sailing for a month, opt for "quick tips," which lightens hair at the edges.

Hair Removal

Waxing services touch upon the chest, back, neck and eyebrow.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Just moved to the area and setting up where to go for all the places I need such as a place to get my hair cut and other stuff. I found the salon cool and was happy with my cut. The stylist was Lynn and she help me with a new look with some color highlights. She took the time to work with me but it didn't take a lifetime to get done. I found the price resonable and about what I had been paying in Seattle. I ended up getting a package for six haircuts so it's even cheaper. It's nice that I can go back there or free clean up in between my appointments too. People were friendly and had snacks and sports on the TV. Parking lot was tight cuz they're near Trader Joe's though.

Pros: Comfortable, friendly place, stylists was very good

Cons: parking a bit tight in the mall

The haircuts are OK but the "Just In Time" program seems to be a trick. My last four appointments were all "Just In Time" appointments, where you get a discount since you're taking a last minute slot that someone else canceled. When it came time to pay, the cashier "forgot" to give me the discount and I had to remind them, else they'd charge me the maximum rate. I can understand forgetting one time but all four times they forgot. I don't know if it's deliberate or they're just really disorganized. You have to stay on top of them, which frankly I resent. Their advertised discounts don't count for much if they only honor them under duress.

Response from this business

GREAT to hear you have been returning to our salon, your last being your fourth visit.

Thanks for your comments and patronage. We’re sorry to hear you had to remind the front desk coordinator about the Just In Time Discounts. As far as we are aware, American Male is the only salon to offer such a discount program in the area and possibly all of California. Many full service salons only go up in their rates rather than offering any disounts. Occasionally clients will call in and make an appointment but not mention the JIT discount and or it doesn’t get manually flagged on the appointment ticket. In either event we always honor the discount. We’ll make every effort to prevent it in the future. The JIT program is one of several innovative things we offer as a full service salon for guys. Soon you’ll be able to make your appointments 24/7 online.

Editor's Review

For little more than this chain's typical $20 cut, guys can upgrade to a full grooming experience.  See the full editorial review.
