“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.
