Shop Sixty Five

Beans Beauty
This mini-chain’s newest location is its best: Shop for top-of-the-line his-and-hers grooming products (Dermalogica, Jack Black, The Art of Shaving) and the stuff to go with them (brushes, blow dryers) before heading to the rear salon for a cut or color. 22 South Main Street, 267-327-4868, beansbeauty.com.
