Any guys out there get their hair cut at 379 Club in Allston? I read about this place a few weeks ago and the concept was interesting. Basically it's a spa for men. It has pool tables, flat screen tvs, a VIP lounge, and computer stations amongst other things.
Services include haircuts, massages, and "foot and hand detail" (if you're going to get a manicure/pedicure, just own up to it). I haven't gotten to the interesting part yet though.
Here's the interesting part: the club offers a tiered membership program that ranges from $480 to $2200 a year and includes unlimited haircuts. Hmmmm...unlimited haircuts - this could be interesting. I basically get my hair cut once a month (it costs me $35 each time). Pricey? Yes. But I used to get my hair cut at SuperCuts and I came out pissed off everytime thinking to myself "It's ok, it'll grow back in 2 weeks"
So at $35 a pop, monthly haircuts are costing me $420 a year (it pains me to do that math). And at the end of the month, I'm getting scruffy, I'd prefer biweekly haircuts. This would bump me up to over $800 a year, way more than I'm going to spend on haircuts.
So you see where I'm going with this? If that means I can get haircuts every 2 weeks, then it's a better deal than I'm currently getting. The brochure on their website details out the different levels of membership. Just a warning, it's a pdf (here).
I'm thinking about checking it out. If you're interested in more info you can go to their website (here). I warn you though. The website currently sucks - very little information available. They do, however, have a pdf coupon on their site good until December for a haircut and massage for $30.

I've been a member at 379 for almost a year now. I have the Bronze membership and I get my hair cut almost once a week so I can stay looking my best. It's great!
Frankly, I don't know how this is a good deal for Omar, but it's a GREAT deal for me. Couldn't be happier
