Now he’s owner of The Mustache Lounge, which he opened in 2016. He and his team provide hair cuts for men, traditional and more. “But men are also wanting graphic designs and texturized style, and beards are popular, too,” he says.

There’s big interest in celebrities’ hair styles, so he and his team stay up-to-date so clients get the looks. His female customers typically come in for pixie cuts and “radical” styles. “My customers enjoy coming here because they know they’ll have an experience.

We talk about sports, food, travel, and there’s humor here. Most of them become our friends,” says Aguilar. SECOND PLACE McFly's Gentlemen Shop 1190 N.
