Happy Anniversary for Tycoon Harry's
For Jennifer Fetchko, cutting hair began as a fun activity in a small dorm room while in college.
A few years and hundreds of thousands of hair clippings later, Fetchko is now celebrating the second anniversary as proprietor of Tycoon Harry's Grooming for Men, a full-service barber-salon for the grooming, manicuring, waxing and cutting of hair for gentlemen.
Two years ago on April 1, Fetchko opened the front doors of her new Mariemont village square business and the door has spent very little time closed since.
"Everyday is better than the last," Fetchko said, adding she has been extremely happy that people have so warmly embraced her vision for what a male's salon should be. "We have new people coming in every day. I couldn't be happier with how well we are doing and with the reception of our clientele."
Tycoon Harry’s Grooming for Men – named for the patrons to whom it caters – males can have their hair cut, receive a scalp massage, a hot towel face and neck treatments, manicures, pedicures, massages, facial treatments and body waxing.
“I have been coming here for six months. I feel a bit more comfortable being a male and coming to an all-male salon versus a co-ed salon. Personally, I feel more secure here,” customer Lee Mahaney said. “The salon has a relaxed atmosphere. And I also receive a great deal of useful tips for maintaining my appearance, information that really is beneficial.”
Another customer, Adam Fisher, has been a client for a little over a year.
“I just like how the women style my hair and, in turn, teach me how to style it so that it features my face, accentuating my characteristics,” Fisher said.
In 2007, City Beat‘s Best of Cincinnati named Tycoon Harry’s the “best hair salon” for men in the area.
In celebration of the salon’s two-year anniversary, Tycoon Harry’s will be offering 10 percent off all massages for the month of April.
To set up an appointment or to inquire about the salon’s services, call Tycoon Harry’s at 272-0957.

It's getting warmer!
Guess what? With the dawn of spring starting to stretch its arms, the National Exemplar's new patio is now open. The patio was completed late in the year of 2007, so there wasn't a whole lot of time for people to fully enjoy the restaurant's newest amenity. But now with the weather warming and people itchin' to get start doing more outdoors activities, the patio's opening is a "warm" welcome.
The Dilly Deli has also started to set up their outdoor patio. All that is next is to let down the convertible's top and all will be right with the world.
As a reminder, the National Exemplar is offering "Double Points" every Monday night for your meal. This is a great way to build your points and receive your points certificate, eligible for usage within the restaurant.
And the Dilly Deli is having an extra-special wine tasting evening 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Tuesday April 8. Cost is $25 per person and the tasting will feature Rainer Lingenfelder, who heads a family-owned estate German winery with 13 generations of wine-growing experience under their belts. Chef Eric Vice will present a nice hors d'oeuvres buffet to accompany the wines. Reserve your spot by calling at 561-5233.

Save these dates!
As more information is confirmed, details will begin to emerge and the Dilly Deli will start taking reservations but you want to make sure these April events are on your calendar
On Tuesday April 8, it will be an evening with Rainier Lingenfelder, one of the top owner/winemakers in the Pfalz, if not all of Germany. "We are honored to have his company for his only stop in southern Ohio. If you're looking for new taste sensations, look no further - as Rainier is fond of saying, 'Welcome to the age of Post-Chardonism'."
And on Thursday April 17 it will be dinner with McCrea Cellars. McCrea is a Washington winery specializing in Rhone varietals, and was one of the Dilly Deli's biggest hits over the holiday season. The company's National Sales Manager Susan Neel will be hosting the dinner.

Flischel exhibition ushers in the coming of Spring
When Jacqueline Numrich Flischel sits down to paint, she has a concept in mind in which ideas are derived from signs and symbols of everyday life.
"Concepts develop slowly or they come in waves or flashes," she said. "I firmly believe color is a language all its own. Color combines with form and allows an emotional expression.
Flischel's idealogy that color and form leading to an ultimate expression will be on display -- appropriately as spring's thin fingers begin to open and tiny blossoms start to show their teeth -- with her painting exhibition "The Colors of Spring", which will be from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, March 9, at the Robert A. Flischel Photography studio, located in The Strand at 6820 Wooster Pike, Mariemont.
Jacqueline has been painting for more than 40 years with an insatiable urgency to create.
Influenced by many Cincinnati artists such as Mitch Kaufman, Roland Huston, Jack Meanwell and Paul Chidway, along with abstract expressionist artists Hans Hofmann, Franz Kline and Willem De Kooning, Flischel's philosophy is to be honest with one's self and paint what you feel.
"The figure, still life and landscape are ideal subjects for my emotive palette. The vibrant interplay of form, color and texture enable me translate traditional subject matter into abstract expressions. There's a sense of freedom for me in portraying my world with loose boundaries and little inhibition," Flischel said.
Light refreshments will be served during the exhibition. For more information, call the studio at 271-3113.
