Guise goes co-ed
When we stopped in Lincoln Park barber shop-men's boutique hybrid Guise a few months ago, we were psyched to hear that they had an expansion in the works to add salon services and clothing for ladies. And we’ve got an update: Owner Brad Habansky (who recently brought in new biz partners Heidi Taylor and Jodi Immel to handle all things womanly) just announced that the official relaunch is set for March. Expanding on the homonym nature of the current name (guise sounds like guys -- get it?) the new shop will be called Guise/Chic and will open down the street at 2128 N. Halsted St. Now, guys, you can bring a gal pal along on your shopping excursion and she can browse dresses or get a blow out while you model slick J Lindeberg blazers or sit down for an old-fashioned shave.
>>> In other L.P. shopping news, trendy women’s boutique SHE, which opened just last summer on Armitage, is already expanding northward with a suburban outpost in Highland Park to open March 15.
