If Mad Men’s Don Draper worked the ad scene in Mumbai, this is where he’d get his hair cut. The Barber Shop, a new men’s only salon (by the guys behind Juice), comes with chequered floor, old style chairs, jazz music and the promise of “classic cuts and close shaves”. And ensuring you don’t lose your innate caveman-ness while getting a mani-pedi, this crop shop serves swigs of testosterone-laced energy dinks. Although Don would much prefer his Scotch and a couple of Luck Strikes. Barbers, take note.

The prices here are surprisingly true to their retro vibe, with a trim costing Rs 150 and the most expensive cut priced at Rs 175 (including hair wash). Yetis, while you get a shave and wax, look up at the vintage airplanes hanging from the ceiling or save a penny for the juke box. The salon also houses a mini one-room spa for basic massages, and a specials board that features treatments like facials, hair relaxing and colour, mani-pedis and even an old-style champi. The only thing they’re missing is a shoe shine.

Finally in Mumbai, there's a beauty den for men, a groom room that even girls will be thankful for. That’s another victory for Man, you!

Getting there: 7, Kings Acres, opposite Podar School, Santacruz (W), call 65938464, Rs 175 for haircut.
