Tycoons now officially open
The doors are now open to the public and all your grooming anxieties should be thrown out your window.
Tycoon Harry's Grooming for Men, located on the Mariemont village square, has officially opened for business.
When entering Tycoon Harry’s Grooming for Men – aptly named for the patrons it hopes to attract – males will be able to have their hair cut, receive a scalp massage, a hot towel face and neck treatments, manicures, pedicures, massages, facial treatments and body waxing.
“This is somewhere where men will feel comfortable entering,” owner Jennifer Fetchko said, adding she is aware that many men are shy about having their hair cut in a salon and many more men are afraid – even embarrassed – about inquiring on hair removal.
“I know how it is to walk into a non-inviting salon, or a place that is more worried about being trendy than it is about being accommodating,” she said. “So, I want to create a place where men feel at home.”
But why does Fetchko want to cater to men and their needs?
“With men, the cut you give them is what they walk out with. It is a more technical cut and I can be more creative. It isn’t a trim and 45 minutes of sculpting (like a female’s hair style) ... men actually walk out of the salon with the haircut I give them,” she said.
Fetchko has been working on improving a man’s appearance for years and opening this salon is her way of helping men feel comfortable having their appearance improved upon.
She searched all over the Greater Cincinnati area for a good locale to open her business. After much frustration and driving many miles, she happened to drive down Wooster Pike and through Mariemont.
“I fell in love. I love this village. It is quaint and reminds me of home,” she said. “It is safe and friendly here and the area is perfect for what I want to do.”
Fetchko opens will be having a grand opening (which should be the end of December of the beginning of January). Afterwards, any man that has questions about how she can improve their appearance needs only to stop in for a tour.
The barber salon will be located directly to the right of Graeters on the village square.

It is during these trips that owner Tiffany Richardson travels in search of new ideas for her store. For those who have already visited the store, located in The Strand beside Eastern Hills Dry Cleaning, they know the store is fraught with fine and upscale home decor merchandise.
The store will re-open August 1 with new fall merchandise. For more information, call 271-5777.

Saturday Wine Tasting July 15--1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Dilly Deli
A new wine will be available for tasting on Saturday July 15. According to Dilly Deli co-owner Robbie Warriner, Hofer's Gruener Veltliner "Freiberg" has an exotic, robust scent and is very long on flavor, "and it just glows."
Also on the docket for tomorrow is a wine from a superb grape called Scheurebe (SHOY-ray-buh) from Dr. Deinhard.
"Speaking of exotic," she continues, " it has notes of grilled fennel, kiwi, and hyssop, with a superb intricacy and a classy overtone of lavender. Many red wine drinkers gravitate to Scheurebe because it possesses some red wine characteristics (black currant aromas and flavors are chief among them), so if you generally eschew white wine, give this one a try. We'll also try (together, as we haven't had it yet, either) the new vintage of Castello di Ama Rosato, named Italy's best rosé by the Italian wine magazine Gambero Rosso, and despite the accolade, the price is still the same as last year.
"And lastly, a thoroughly singular wine called Razon, a delicious red from Spain. It is not from a region of note, but when you taste it, you will wonder that it is famous, because it is good ... and a bargain. Perhaps it's better that it doesn't hail from a famous region--it would cost $10 more."

A brief look ahead
On Tuesday, July 18, from 4 p.m. - close, the Dilly Deli will have a special beer party with Great Lakes Brewery. There will also be a few special items, though, apparently, exactly what is planned is for visitor's eyes only. But, there will definitely be the brewmaster and lots of beer, so don't miss it.
And ...
A planned wine dinner is scheduled for Tuesday, August 22, featuring the Fess Parker Winery, an outstanding central coast California winery with a long track record of great wines and that classy 'coon skin cap on the label. "Chef Eric has tasted the wines and, sure as eggs is eggs, will concoct a magnificent dinner to go with them," Dilly Deli owners said.
