Getting a haircut can often be a grueling experience if you're a guy. You can either endure the same stuffy salon where your wife gets her hair styled and colored or brave the nearby quick-cut at the local strip mall. Here in Orange County, there's no longer a reason to dread the monthly buzz and trim. Salons and barbershops appealing to men know exactly what a masculine grooming environment should look like.
