Every well groomed boy and girl in Dallas has their go to style expert. The one person or team that knows exactly how to tame and coif that wild mess of hair on your head. You hope that after sitting down, having yourself a gossip session and a scalp massage, you’ll leave satisfied and stared at for all the right reasons. Well, I’ve found my hair happy place. Residing in the soon to be transformed Victory Park neighborhood, Chad Rookstool Salon is a stand out. Cuts, color and a side of Pinot, you name it Chad and his team are ready to deliver.
Owner and operator Chad Rookstool is an experienced stylist who has been in the industry 17 years. Originally, he trained under the internationally recognized, French stylist Jean-Philippe. He later helped open the Kevin Charles Salon where he managed it with the world renowned Kevin Charles for three years. Chad also mentored under Roy Teeluck in New York City. He continues his education annually in New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco with Vidal Sassoon, Bumble and Bumble, and L’Oreal. Chad’s experience outside of a hair salon includes styling numerous advertisements, magazine covers, and fashion runway shows for Valentino and Armani. Now if that isn’t a repertoire to trust, I don’t know what is.
The thing is, he’s a guys-guy who understand what it takes to make every person who steps into his space feel comfortable. From the industrial design of the space to the offering of beverage (adult and not), its a customer experience with a twist that will keep you coming back. I stepped in expecting the same old same old and came out of Chad Rookstool a dapper man with a new grooming perspective.
The coolest thing they offer? The men’s dry cut. It’s a 15-minute version of the normal haircut without the wash- offered for busy men with limited time to spend at the salon. No excuses, guys.
