Finally! We’re now open for business in incredible new midtown store. Stop by and check it out — have a glass of Scotch and get a great cut!
We’re extremely proud of the new shop, which is about 800 square feet larger than Roswell. We’ve also added an internet bar, a wider selection of complimentary beverages, and flat panel televisions which can be watched while waiting or while getting your haircut. We’re also pleased to announce we’ve assembled the best haircutting team in the city of Atlanta!

An ounce of pretension is worth a pound of manure.

So this one’s really got me hot under the collar. We were recently asked by one of the companies whose products we carry if we would like to be included in a feature about their shaving products in the Atlantan magazine.
Of course, being the publicity whores that we are, we jumped at the chance and sent them the required information and prepared to place a large order of their product to be ready for the masses that the Atlantanwould surely bring in. Foolish us. Here was the Atlantan’s response:
“I think we’re going to have to pass on including it in our coverage. We focus on the high-end demographic, and American Haircuts isn’t the kind of place our readers would frequent.” Huh? Pretentious pricks.
American Haircuts isn’t the kind of place their readers would frequent? Our shop is an upscale barbershop in Roswell where men can get a great haircut or hot shave, have fun and real conversation, and maybe even be treated to a shot of 18 year old single malt scotch. The demograpics in our area are right in line with the target markets the Atlantan lists in their media kit. Our shop is patronized by high powered executives from many Atlanta corporations, an award winning movie writer and producer, local auto executives, and two legendary pro baseball players. Guys who far exceed the Atlantan’s target demographic and could probably write a check on the spot to buy the whole damned magazine. These guys come into our shop for a dose of reality - to relax and get away from all of the “politically correct” bullshit and to interact with regular guys as well as those who hold similar positions. It’s the kind of place where men can be men and decompress from their stressful lives. Exactly the kind of place the male segment of the Atlantan’s demographic would appreciate.
Could it be that American Haircuts only charges $20 for a man’s haircut instead of $75? Or that we’re not located in thug infested Buckhead? It sounds to me like the Atlantan is probably a little out of touch with what their demographic is reallyafter. I hope our current shop or future shops never become the kind of places that fit into their vision of what men want. Thank god our clients aren’t that pretentious.
I have to admit, I’ve only casually flipped through the Atlantan and put it down after I found the countless ads for cosmetic surgery and condos a bit dull - although I did find a great place for some teeth whitening and it sure looks pretty on my coffee table right next to the Guns and Ammo.
Hey, guys… let me know where you want this truckload of manure delivered.
