The official word is that it could be tomorrow; it could be two weeks from tomorrow: Floyd's 99 at 1555 North Cahuenga will open its doors for business. The only thing is, it's just one door away from Hairroin Salon. The move does rather strike us like a Starbucks opening up shop next to a cool indie coffe house (and we all know how that story goes). Barbershops and salons are clearly not the same thing (though Floyd's offers cutting and coloring services); Hairroin has a great reputation and a loyal fanbase, so the block is theoretically big enough for the both of them.
