Tom's Men's Haircuts is set to open its third Tulsa location in the Pearl District during early spring 2027. The facility will combine a traditional barbershop with an integrated coworking space designed for area professionals.
Why it matters
By placing services directly inside the Village Flats development, the company is testing a hybrid model that captures high-density residential foot traffic while serving the remote-work needs of urban dwellers. This strategy aims to build local brand loyalty by aligning grooming services with the daily lifestyle requirements of residents.
The new facility will serve the 100 apartment and condo units at Village Flats, with a further 300 residential units expected to open in the nearby vicinity by early 2028. The firm, established in 2022, currently manages two existing Tulsa locations as it works toward an eventual expansion target of six sites.
The players
Tom's Men's Haircuts
A Tulsa-based grooming business founded in 2022 that is currently expanding its footprint to incorporate hybrid coworking services.
The details
The new Pearl District location features dedicated Wi-Fi workstations, a meeting room, private phone booths, and a print station. This layout integrates professional office infrastructure into a retail footprint, allowing the operator to maximize utility per square foot. Construction is already underway at the Village Flats site, focusing on the specialized plumbing and concrete work required to support both the chair and office stations.
Timeline
2022: Business operations began in Tulsa.
Early spring 2027: New Pearl District location is expected to open.
Early 2028: Nearby residential development with 300 units completes construction.
Market Landscape
The move aligns with the third-place retail concept, which focuses on creating community-oriented spaces outside of the home and office. It reflects a broader trend of operators looking to increase revenue-per-customer by diversifying services in high-density urban residential nodes.
Operators considering similar hybrid models should evaluate if their current facility layout can support the utility requirements—such as high-speed data and noise-dampening for phone booths—without sacrificing core service capacity. Monitor how well this site integrates its occupancy targets with the completion of the 300-unit residential project in 2028.
The takeaway
Integrating professional workstations into a retail shop requires balancing foot-traffic flow with the quiet environment needed for a professional meeting. Evaluate whether your facility can support dual-revenue streams through shared infrastructure before committing to building-out costs.
