Extensions are SO in. Longer, fuller, healthier hair is something we are all after. Hair only grows so fast but when it just isn’t fast enough we turn to extensions.

The Men of Garbo’s
“The Men of Garbo’s”… It has a nice ring to it! Although it may sound like a hot new band’s name, The Men of Garbo’s are the fantastic male stylists who make up a small, but mighty, percentage of our team. We have been busy sharing why Garbo’s Salon and Spa offers the best men’s haircuts in Omaha, but we wanted to make sure our own guys get the credit they deserve. What better time than Men’s Month to spotlight the Men of Garbo’s?!
What is the Difference Between a Barber and a Hair Stylist?
What is the difference between a Barber and a Hair Stylist? Well, when it comes to male grooming, guys have a couple of options. Aside from swanky shaving boutiques, “watch sports while you get your haircut” salons, and the classic men’s barbershop, the options for men’s haircuts boil down to two options: a Barber or a Hair Stylist. While knowing the core differences between the two professions can be helpful, we argue that choosing one over the other because of their title isn’t the best way to go.
