Our Story 

Once upon a time, Indian men’s idea about grooming was all about cutting and shaving.

A man using shaving cream was celebrated. One using deodorant was considered dapper. Today things have changed….

Today’s men are becoming ever more conscious of their looks….

Today’s men don’t stop at basic grooming. They want facials, manicures, pedicures, hot towel shaves and more!

It is with this recognition, the idea of McKingstown was born!

Our salon celebrates this new breed of men who is not just beauty-curious but also beauty-conscious!

Our highly skilled staff elevates the traditional barbershop experience to suit the sophistication of the modern man, moving beyond basic grooming. 

Offering you a rejuvenating, king-like experience alongside standard barbershop services.
