After years of working in the restaurant and real estate industries, Candice Milton said she envisioned her next business venture as a salon that would be a welcoming place for men who were tired of visiting national haircut chains.
“A lot of guys see getting a haircut as another chore on their to-do list[s],” said Milton, owner of Tune Up: The Manly Salon. “But they can come in here and have a beer, hang out and enjoy getting their hair cut. The guys love it.”
Tune Up: The Manly Salon opened Oct. 17 on FM 1488 in Magnolia and has quickly become a place for men to receive the same pampered treatment usually seen at salons catering to the opposite sex, Milton said.
“The reaction [from the community] has been very good so far,” she said. “We’ve got a lot of regulars who come in. For a lot of guys, it’s become part of their routine[s] when they’re getting ready to go out on a Friday night.”
