Y-Chrome

The only thing more gratifying than being complimented on one's hair is when the compliment is obviously sincere. Y-Chrome inspires obvious sincerity through the barbering abilities of its experienced hair-crafters. The expert head-shapers will treat your tresses with care either before or after you saddle up to one of the shop's pool tables or dartboards with a crisply purchased microbrew in your fist. A quality hair-snipping ($21 value) will add an extra ounce of jauntiness to your winter driving scarf as you turn down Great Hair Boulevard en route to the less fashionable and always serious I-405. After a cut in front of one of Y-Chrome's sports-broadcasting televisions, your jealous cheeks will go from gruff to smoochable with a hot-towel shave ($25 value) administered with professional diligence.
