The Boardroom Salon For Men

I bought a gift card for my husband to get a haircut and shave here, knowing it was something he was interested in but would never do for himself. I’m so glad I did! He couldn’t stop raving about how amazing his barber was. She listened to what he was looking for in a hair cut/​shave, and I could tell the difference. She did a fantastic job! They also have free beer and a relaxed atmosphere. He’s excited to go back again.

I couldn’t be happier about their services. I’ve been going there for a while since my old barber moved and I ended up in a very unexperienced barber who destroyed my beloved beard and messed up my hair. I found the Boardroom researching on internet. After hesitate a little bit, I decided to give it a try. I called and found the best barber I could ever had: Rose. Man, she has magic hands and knows how to take care of your beard better than lots of guys out there. I can assure you that! She has been cutting mi kid’s hair as well and my oldest loves his new modern haircut.
If you want to look like a British Lord, don’t take too long like I did, and get your appointment ASAP. Your beard will thank you and so does your hair. When I get home, after been there, my wife always says I’m looking great. I gotta believe her =).
Some people will say they’re pricey. Well, I don’t like to put price on someone’s else service. Only them know how much effort and learning they had to put into before being able to offer a premium service with a such high level of quality. So, you will get exactly what you’re paying.

What’s happened! I’ve been coming here for over 4 years, and yet the last 4 or 5 visits they have continually been late, or stylist not even showed up.
There also seems to be a high turnover of stylists which makes it all the more difficult to stick with someone that you like and gives you a great cut.
Very sad to see this happen. I have since taken my business elsewhere.

2^nd only to Weldons Barber. I had a great experience here. It was so easy to book an appointment and get in. The experience was easy and perfect.
$ 55 for the Benchmark is a great price for all you get. I’ll be back for sure. Men, if you are sick to death of places like Great Clips, Sportsclips, etc… then give this a try. You’ll never go back!
Hope this helps ;)

Way over priced and def not worth it if you get a haircut every five weeks. My $ 50 haircut took 6 minutes. They’re always trying to sell you some gimmick service they offer to put your bill way over $ 35 for the original cut and expect a big tip In return. I use to be in the service industry and always tip 25% or more. I had a really hard time justifying a tip this large when the haircut took 8 minutes. Find a saloon and they will do a much better job.

This is a tough review to write. I finally found someone (Flora) who gives me a great haircut but the receptionist/​phone answer person is absolutely horrible. When I called in to make an appointment, I was told that Flora doesn’t work Sundays. Tried for a Wednesday and told that Flora doesn’t work Wednesdays but to hold on and she would check about the upcoming Wednesday. After being on hold for a while, someone came back on the line and answered like it was a new call. When I explained that someone was checking on Flora’s availability for Wednesday, I was snapped that she doesn’t work Wednesdays. OK. So … phone skills 101 would have the receptionist ask if maybe an evening would work? Could she make an appointment with another person? Nope… just snapped at. Told her I guess I will go elsewhere and she just said «OK.» I don’t think that Flora would be too excited that she just lost a client due to the «front desk.» C’mon management… the front desk is a client’s first impression of a business. You better improve yours.

My fiancé really enjoyed his gift certificate here. I would highly recommend pampering your man with one of their amazing services. He was truly amazed by the quality of the treatment, the professionalism of the staff. Meagan was able to get him in last minute for our big date night. Again, totally worth every penny.

I visited The Boardroom recently and when I walked in, I was quite impressed. It was very nicely designed /​laid out. I’m thinking to myself «Swanky!» The staff greeted me and we very pleasant to interact with. That’s where the great stuff stops though. I had an appt for a hot lather shave and a head shave. The process was fine and the gentleman performing the grooming was great to talk to, but the skills weren’t top notch. When he was apparently done with the hot lather shave, I had to point out that he missed a patch of hair on my chin. He gladly fixed it, but it should have been rather obvious to begin with. Even worse, I got home about 20 mins after my services and there were small blood spots on my face. I’m glad it was my day off work and I was not heading back into the office or my co-​workers just might have been wondering about me. I also felt like I needed to shave again as the shave wasn’t even across parts my face. I get a better shave from a disposable razor. There was still much hair on my upper lip and even some below my lower lip. My haircut? Pretty solid, but yet another patch of hair was missed. I’m a bald guy — surely it can’t be too hard to miss the few remaining hairs. They stuck out to me like a sore thumb. I had to remedy this situation myself before leaving home again.
There is definitely a nice atmosphere to this place, but the quality I received for what was paid left much to be desired. Being pampered sure was nice, but for the cost vs services received, I think I’d rather perform these services myself.

Last summer, I went in for a pedicure and April was great. She was friendly and did an adequate job. Personally, I could have paid ½ the price and gotten a better job elsewhere but again, April was friendly and she tried.
The problem was: when I checked in (at 12:50pm) for a 1pm appointment, I waited until 1:20pm. And when I checked out, I was completely ignored by who appeared to be the manager Kimm (the older lady up front). It wasn’t busy during that time (there were two total customers, including me), but I guess she was too busy surfing the net or deciding on what to order for lunch.
I provided this feedback online to the owner of the chain. While he was great in trying to remedy the situation, Kimm got really defensive over email. They need to realize this is a service industry and that I could have gotten a better pedicure from a $ 10 Ped-​Egg.
I am their core demographic they’re catering to but in light of the events, I will not go back. If I wanted to be ignored, I’d just hang out at a random government office somewhere and save myself some money. Just because they have beer, a pool table, and a couple of big screen TVs, does not make it worth the money they’re charging.

I promised not to rank a place five stars unless I have been there at least three times. I have been going here over the last three years. I like the atmosphere.. .I like that someone actually pays attention to your hair and not to the sporting event playing on TV (dig, dig).. .and with the Benchmark, the extra $ 15 for the neck and scalp massage and hand massage is well worth it.
But truth be told, I would probably rank this place three or four stars if it wasn’t for April in the Allen location. She has been taking care of me for the last two years.. .she is friendly, talented, attentive and professional. If you are looking for a great haircut in an upscale environment with a professional stylist.. .this is the place to go (ask for April!)
Unilocal OBSERVATION: How much value does service have within a ranking? If your favorite person left.. .like a chef, server, or stylist, would a place lose stars? In this case it would.. .

Definately one of the best places to get a monthly «grooming». :)
Thank goodness the market «graduated» from the «hooter» like haircut places… or maybe its just im getting old… but this place fits me perfectly.

I have been going to the Boardroom since we moved here almost 8 months ago. I was so pleased with Renee that I purchased the year long membership where I can get the Benchmark cut and massage anytime I want. Great atmosphere and good place to just unwind, relax and get some male grooming done.

Excellent service. Appointments on time. Very talented stylists. Relaxing and well worth it. This is a place men should go to get their hair cut.

I dont think you should trust all of the positive reviews from people with only one or two reviews — they are doing it for $ 20.
The stylist that serviced me was legally blind, with very rough hands which she had to keep using to try and avoid cutting my ears. I noticed the glasses — I just thought they were stylish. But twice she actually wandered over and began cutting the hair of the person seated beside me! If I had known, I would have NEVER asked for the straight edge razor cut! In her defense, she was very polite about the nicks, and I am confident I will soon be fine!

this place is fantastic. cold beer and a haircut by a great stylist. if you have to go get a haircut, why would you do it any other way? i go see april every time. she is cute and has a great personality — not a bad way to spend an hour. the haircut at this place isnt rushed, it is good styling by a professional. i get the benchmark every time and try to make it in every month to month and a half. one should not have a haircut that doesnt include the parafin dip for your hands and hair wash, both of which include a great massage of head and hand/​arm. also, the fact you could play some pool or chess or watch some espn while you wait makes showing up early a bonus. the long and short of it… go here for a haircut, it is more than worth it.

I will never return to Boardroom. A really bad haircut for a rather expensive price, $ 35 for a dry cut, and the prices go way up from there. They bill this as an executive men’s salon, and it looks the part, but they forgot about actual delivery of a quality service. I was willing to pay their prices to get some helpful options, some insightful suggestions, something. But their supposed «Consultation» was just a marketing joke — she had no suggestions whatsoever.
So I explained that I wanted to get my hair longer and sweep it back on the sides, so my hair should be left as long as possible, but thinned on the sides to get it to lay properly. She ignores that, no thinning, just whacks hair off in some layered BS that not only eliminates any possibility of «sweep» but also looks like crap with my fine, light hair.
If you do decide to try this place, stay away from Robin. Not only is she incompetent with hair, she is rough. My scalp had several uncomfortable encounters with her equipment, and even with her nails! Be afraid, be VERY afraid.
Nearly forgot to mention, she made me slump way down in the chair because otherwise she was too short to see what she was doing. She/​they completely neglected the concept perhaps they should adjust to the customer, rather that the other way round!
Even after writing this, I am still pissed off.
