Good afternoon and welcome to another edition of the Suzanne Venker show, where we tell truths the culture won't.

You can find out more at suzannevenker.com.

And of course, the Suzanne Venker Show would not exist without the good folks over at Hair Saloon

for Men. Hair Saloon is a business that has as much to do with the restoration of men as it does

with the business of hair cutting. And twice a month, President and CEO of Hair Saloon, Tom Twelman,

joins us to talk about his work and about some of the issues that we cover here on this

program, which I know are as dear to him as they are to me. So welcome back, Tom.

Thanks, Jen. Glad to be here. So what's new at Hair Saloon?

Well, cutting hair like we always do, but we are seeing a little bit of a bump, I guess, with back to school coming on. So a lot of our young sons of our customers are trying to look good for the first day of school.

So we see a little bit of a bump, but not much.

And so that's been fun.

And we have a, we put the final touches on a southern in Houston, Texas market.

That'll be opening up next month.

So that's exciting.

And we've got those, that franchisee owner in town this week, and we're doing some

training and getting them ready to operate their own saloon.

And just in case...

It's a busy time.

Sounds great.

And just in case our listeners aren't familiar, what can you speak a little bit to just

what your sort of broader mission is beyond just being in the business of hair cutting?

So people kind of understand our connection here.
