“This feels real good. One year later it is still exciting, it still feels new,” Fetchko said. “Everyone here at the salon feels honored to be recognized. We have done a lot of work in the past year to make a great atmosphere.’

“To hear that City Beat said we were the best is great news,” Chelsea Mitchell, one of Tycoon Harry’s artisans, said. Mitchell specializes in hair coloring, highlights, low lights, grey blending, chair massage, and is now conducting full-body massages.

Fetchko wanted to open a salon for men because she knows 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,

“So, I want to create a place where men feel at home,” she 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.

When entering Tycoon Harry’s 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.

And speaking of body waxing, it is now officially “back waxing” season. Fetchko, who not only cuts hair but is also a skin care specialist (an aesthetician in the industry vernacular), admits she has never heard any male complain after having their back waxed (if it’s necessary).

“Honestly, it is only a couple minutes of ouch -- and not super ouch -- and afterwards you have weeks of self-confidence spending time outdoors,” Fetchko said, adding having your body waxed is nothing like what people saw in the movie, “40 Year-Old Virgin.” “That was purposely done to look much more painful than it is.”
