Salon Peachy for Men: Kennedy's All-American Barber Club Highly Recommended by Whom You Know

A new exciting concept for men has hit Fairfield County, Connecticut and may expand to a neighborhood near you. Kennedy’s All American Barber Clubs are almost a throwback to the days when getting your hair cut was less about the haircut and a shave then the atmosphere and the company you kept. With this in mind, owners Richard Ashaikan and Jarrod Manfro created Kennedy's with a updated fresh twist. More of a luxury club environment featuring a pool table, giant flat screens, a bar and wireless allows men to get away. All within the same time frame of indulging in a superior shave and cut. The Darien location offers 2900 sq-ft of pure enjoyment and luxury. Of course they offer other services as well. But the coolest part is that you can come and use their services when needed or join the club and get enhanced services. There are several different membership levels you can join at based on your needs. So everything from unlimited haircuts and shaves to manicures, facials and waxes. They also offer a really tailored line of grooming products that can compete with any quality product out on the market. I was greeted when I entered and immediately was offered a drink. They had beer, soda, water or coffee. Because I had product already in my hair they washed it and massaged my head for quite a bit. It was so relaxing that I almost dozed off. Then I was moved over to the chair for my cut. I have really curly hair but instead of using a razor they snipped away with scissors. The shape was perfect and the lines were great. They styled my hair to look current but not so trendy that I would look ridiculous at my job. I work in finance so I need a somewhat conservative style. The cut they gave me could be tweaked a little for the weekend making it more exciting and then tamed for the work week. Next it was time for my shave. They started by steaming my face and neck and then wrapping it in hot towels. Followed by applying shaving cream and using a razor. This process happened three times of steaming towels, cream and a shave. It is so hard to find a place that actually offers this service and then really does it right. It left my face and neck so smooth and I really looked my best. Again because of my curly hair I am prone to in-growns and bumps but not today or the day after. So gentleman, head on over to a Kennedy’s near you. Grab a drink, shoot some pool, watch the game, relax and walk out looking and feeling your best.

Their site tells us:

Kennedy’s All-American Barber Club® is an upscale, award-winning, franchised barbershop -- a concept designed to treat gentlemen to an enjoyable grooming experience and provide the grooming products they need to look and feel their best. It is an “Experience” that is the polar opposite of your everyday haircut from the "big chains." Like most gentlemen, the Founders felt out of place at salons frequented by their wives and local strip-mall walk-in "chop shops," so they decided to create a place where they would ENJOY getting the grooming services they need . . . rather than dread it. While most haircutteries cater to women and children, Kennedy's caters to discerning gentlemen looking for a fine grooming experience with the old-world charm of your father's barbershop. Offering the finest haircuts available, the lost art of straight-razor shaves (very difficult to find these days), a modern selection of grooming products, shoeshines, and complimentary drinks, Kennedy's is sure to be your favorite sanctuary to relax and enjoy The Best Haircut and Straight-Razor Shave You've Ever Had, or it's Free™!
