Overview
Boardwalk Empire: The Complete Third Season will be released on DVD and Blu-Ray on August 21, and the best way to enjoy Boardwalk Empire is to be the Boardwalk Empire.
Okay, so you cannot really become a boardwalk or an empire but you can look like you belong in the show by heading to Cleveland's Salon & Cafe, who are celebrating the impending release by offering a Boardwalk Empire-inspired haircut menu. (Note that they are not offering food filled with hair but rather a menu of haircuts to choose a style from.)
For $70, men can choose from eight dapper hairstyles, including Nucky Thompson's classic deep parted short back and sides and Mickey Doyle's undercut with high side part and length. They can also get a smooth cutthroat shave for an additional $20, which is always worth it. Women can choose from two elegant styles for $85: Margaret Thompson's low side chignon with pinned loose curls or Gillian Darmody's low side bun with loose marcel waves. All cuts come with a complimentary drink — take that prohibition.
It is all part of the salon's partnership with HBO to promote the release. Patrick Casey, the salon director, said "Boardwalk Empire, and more generally the 1920s era, is having a massive impact on grooming and style of today".
It is for a limited time only so glam yourself up and get your gangster on whilst the '20s are still on the style palette.
