Boardroom Salon for Men

Use lots of funds to decorate a store. Buy a barbershop sign, and then hire women who aren’t barbers. Sadly that’s what the experience at the boardroom was like.
I usually go to an old school Barber in downtown who takes an extraordinary amount of time to cut. My sister had just treated me to a new style so I thought that my Barber wouldn’t be able to handle the terminology, hence wanted to try a more upscale place.
I had to explain what I wanted twice as my stylist Jen didn’t listen to me the first time… which should have been my first hint. I asked her to use scissors, which she did for the first bit before going to clippers. Not the style I wanted… i look ridiculous. And right now I have a supercuts hair cut for an excessive price (48), double what I pay my usual Barber (24). I’ll stick to my old Barber from now on.

This was my first trip to The Boardroom. The atmosphere professional, accommodating and relaxing. Tabetha provided great service and an awesome cut. I will definitely be coming back!

This is my first time here… I LOVED IT! My wife got me a gift card to this place so I decided I’d check it out. I booked my appointment on Tuesday for the following Thursday. I booked an hour massage and a beard trim.
When I arrived I was greeted as I walked in the door by a very professional looking hostess. The venue was very clean and inviting. She offered me a beverage while I waited on my massage therapist.
When my therapist came to get me, she introduced herself and lead me to a room that was nicely lit and had relaxing music playing. It was a very nice message! Besides being relaxing, the tension in my neck was worked out quite well.
After my message I was greeted by barber. She was very friendly and outgoing. She asked how I wanted my beard trimmed and followed thru flawlessly.
All in all, this place is very inviting and welcoming once you get there. If you need a haircut, eyebrow waxing, beard trimmed, or a massage, you need to go!

2^nd only to Weldons Barber. I have been here several times now. I’ve had only great experiences here. It was so easy to book an appointment and get in online. The experience was easy and perfect. I’ve tried several stylist but so far Fatisha is my fav. It’s just an enjoyable experience to know your not going to be waiting, that they offer you a drink and have a great room if you do have to wait which is normally less than 90 seconds. I just got fed up with the cheap alternative.
$ 55 for the Benchmark is a great price for all you get. A cut that doesn’t feel like they are rushing to get you out of the chair, a full shampoo, face towel, face massage, arm and hand massage and hand wax.
I’ve also done the express when I’m in a hurry but they still take their time to cut your hair and wash it. I believe it’s $ 45.
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 ;)

Great service and a great haircut. You can’t go wrong with this establishment. Kortney Z did a great job!

The other review listed is completely contrary to every experience I’ve had at the Southlake and Alliance locations. I’ve never had a clipper cut and I’ve literally gotten the best haircuts I’ve had more than 9 times out of 10. I was hesitant to try them initially due to the price but it has been worth it, and I look forward to getting the Benchmark with scalp, face, neck, and hand/​arm massage. So much so that I recently bought a membership so I can come in for it more often. Today, I got my first full body massage and it was also great. If you have the money to spare on pampering yourself, I highly recommend The Boardroom.

This less than stellar review, for the most part, is directed towards the owner. Since I ooze generosity, the owner can consider this review a free business lesson. Or, if astute, he may want to take notes, and use this review as a building block, or possibly a manual on how *not* to run a business.
Grab your popcorn, and let’s begin:
When I initially noticed The Boardroom Salon for Men, I was excited, as options, other than Sport Cuts, etc., are quite slim in this area. I perused through their website and noticed that they are indeed a chain in the DFW area. They sell themselves as an upscale men’s salon, and the prices match. I went ahead and booked on line, and received an email confirmation. Easy breezy, or so I thought.
When I showed up for my initial appointment, it was blatantly obvious that they threw a lot of $$$$ into this joint. After my stylist greeted me, she started chatting about her cosmetology school, and recent test with The Boardroom. It seemed as though she was a brand new stylist. Then, she broke put the clippers, and this confirmed my suspicion. For $ 50 a haircut, most nicer salons use scissor cut only. If I want a clipper cut, I’ll go to Fantastic Sams (Do those still exist?), and pay $ 15. I let her do her thang, and it ended up being a decent haircut. Nothing better than a Sports Clips, or something similar. But, to be fair, just because I wasn’t thrilled, I don’t think it’s appropriate to disclose her name. Just because she didn’t cut my hair exactly the way I like it cut, doesn’t mean that others wouldn’t. Besides, it wouldn’t be cool to possibly blemish her newly blossoming career.
When checking out, the receptionist /​Manager confirmed my email, and said that they’d be emailing every new client with specials and promotions for their Grand Opening… I believe around February 1^st. I thought I’d wait, until I received this email, and then make another appointment with a different stylist. The email never came. Elusive email, where are you? Are you coming? What about now? Oh well, lost in cyberspace…
Fast forward a month later, and I called and spoke with who I assumed was the owner. He asked me if I’d been in before, and I said yes I had. Then, I thought I made it clear, in a very polite manner, without making disparaging comments, that I’d prefer someone similar to a Master Stylist, and asked for a name. (All upper end salons have what is generally considered a Master Stylist, which quite simply, means they’re better) He gave me a name, which was different from my original stylist, so I confirmed. When I came in for my appointment, you guessed it, they lied, and gave me to that original stylist. Bait and switch, I say.
So, back to the free lesson in business. You can throw a lot of money on cosmetic wow factors, but if you fill your salon with fresh out of school gals, that are of Supercuts quality, then you need to charge Supercuts prices. I threw in a lesson in Economics at no charge as well.
This place, in my opinion, is a sham. Not again.
