Man's Alternative has operated since 1989 as a men's hair salon on West Chester Pike in Broomall. The salon says it is built for men and staffed by cosmetologists trained in men's grooming, and it describes itself as rated 5 stars and as a leader among men's salons.
A men's haircut begins with an in-depth style consultation, followed by a hot shampoo, scalp massage and a precision cut. Every cut includes a hot shampoo, scalp massage and premium conditioner, so the cut itself is one part of the visit.
Color options include hair stain, beard stain and eyebrow stain, and grey blending is listed on the salon's home page. A men's haircut includes one free clean-up before the next appointment. Between-visit clean-ups are free for current clients and carry a minimal charge for others, and appointments are preferred but not required.
Walk-ins are welcome but not guaranteed. To secure a time, book by phone at (610) 353-0252 or online. The salon is open Tuesday to Friday from 10:00 AM to 7:30 PM and Saturday from 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM, and is closed Sunday and Monday.
The salon is built around men's hair and grooming, with a staff of cosmetologists trained in men's grooming rather than a general beauty menu.
