'Scandalous Barber' salon targets male clients

WINNIPEG - A sexy new hair salon set to open in Winnipeg will be pushing the boundaries of traditional barbering in an effort to create a niche market for male customers. The Scandalous Barber, an 18-plus salon geared towards men, is expected to open Feb. 14. The shop's stylists will be dressed "a little more risque" than at standard salons, said owner Tara Kardash.

"Our standard dress code is a suit (jacket) with a bra or a corset," Kardash said. "One of the ideas we had was to have just lingerie — a Hooters for hair. I'm sure we'll move in that direction but we'll see how it goes."
Kardash said the idea is to create "a relaxing environment for men," an under-served demographic in the beauty industry.
So far it seems to be going well, if advance bookings are any indication.
"We've had a ton of male customers calling already," Kardash said.
The shop — which welcomes female customers as well — will open with two stylists who will offer standard hair services such as washes, cuts, styles and colouring, with prices ranging from $35 to $75.
"We do hair services, and that's it," Kardash said, noting funny business will not be tolerated.

Kardash said she has yet to meet with any neighbouring businesses or residents, but said they'll all be welcome to come check out the salon when it opens."They can come see for themselves that there's no concern. There's nothing funny going on," she said.

Iain Wight, a piercer at a nearby tattoo shop, said he believes the salon will be a welcome addition to the neighbourhood.
"When we came in here, it seemed like everyone was more than welcoming," he said. "I think the mindset is probably better than it used to be. I don't see any problems with it."
