After nearly a year in limbo, Boardroom Salon for Men is finally starting its buildout on Rockville Pike. The Texas-based chain signed a lease at the beginning of 2020, but its future seemed uncertain after the salon industry got slammed by coronavirus. Now construction is finally underway at Montrose Crossing, right between Slapfish and Five Guys. When Boardroom opens — date TBD — it will offer haircuts, shaves, waxing and manly grooming in a clubby atmosphere with chess boards and pool tables. A $1,500 annual membership will get you an all-access pass: unlimited haircuts plus a suite of salon services.
