    About American Male Salon

    In 1997, American Male set out to change the way men thought about a haircut. Not a typical barber shop and not a typical salon, American Male is a hybrid of both. At each of our men’s hair salon locations in Reading, Berwyn, Lebanon, and Las Vegas, we have successfully taken the best elements from both experiences to create a comfortable place for men to not only get a haircut, hand detailing or waxing service but also learn the best way to handle all their grooming concerns.

    We take special care to ensure all our staff goes through detailed training and is an expert in their profession. Our stylists love what they do and are honored to have guys from all walks of life as their clients.

    Men everywhere need haircuts, and American Male is supplying a growing number of men salon services with a masculine touch. Own an American Male salon and lead the trend. American Male salons are on the move and will be coming to your neighborhood soon. Be the proud owner of your local American Male, own one or develop your entire city or state.
