Men coming from miles around to get hair cut by Knockouts girls in Rockwall

Wow! Is it any wonder that guys are coming from miles around to get their hair cut by these “Knockouts” in Rockwall?  They’re the Knockouts girls/stylists who all are licensed to cut hair and pamper their gentlemen customers. Here’s a portion of the story from www.TheRockwallNews.com:

It’s been called the new “Hooters of Hair-Cutting” and the new “Day Spa for Dudes.” But no matter what you call it, when you first walk into Rockwall’s new “Knockouts” Haircuts For Men salon, you instantly know that you’ve entered a special place for men.

Featuring the very attractive, smiling, sexy Knockouts girls – clad in snug red V-necked polo shirts and short black boxing shorts; comfortable, black leather chairs; flat screen TVs with remote controls for each customer; free sodas and sports drinks; plus the latest sports, car and men’s related magazines, Knockouts’ unique grooming and pampering experience for men is definitely not available at other hair salons.
