V’s Barbershop is the franchise chain that you’d never realize is a franchise. Big black-and–white tiles and walls of wood paneling and cabinetry gleam beneath green-glass lighting. The focus is on the male ritual of grooming and creating a place where men are pampered and the kids have something to do, too. Every haircut – $21 in Fishers – comes with a hot-lather neck shave and shoulder massage. Packages include facials, and you can get a tune-up for $17 – a between-cuts-trim and shave – or a clean-up neck shave on the house. If you’re getting married, they offer you and your groomsmen the works and throw in complimentary cigars. Oh, and they’ll shine your shoes while the kids play hoops! You can book online, and gift certificates are available.
“You want to go somewhere where you’re treated like a friend, and not just a customer. You’re using the chair for a haircut for 30 minutes. It takes time and brings back a quality of service you can’t get at other places. There are places where women can be treated like a woman, and we wanted the same for boys, young men, and grown men. That is why we take our product selection very seriously at V’s. Men are starting to take better care of themselves, and we want to make sure we have the products to offer that can help.” – Chad Renbarger, Owner
