The suite life Flat-screen TVs within salon stations are nothing new in the world of men’s grooming parlors, so what makes this new Loop salon stand out from the crowd? A VIP suite. The luxe room can be reserved for special occasions and features a personal concierge (who’ll get you a drink and help book dinner reservations) and private treatments (manicures, hot shave, haircuts) in a comfy chair ($77–$92). Regular services in the sleek space include the basic and time-saving “Rush Street” (you know, a cut and shampoo; $48), “The Michigan Avenue” (a cut with a scalp massage and shoe shine thrown in; $57) and à la carte services such as waxing ($15 and up), massages ($18–$90) and manicures ($28–$38). 180 W Lake St (877-466-7312, mr312.com).
