There's a new barbershop coming to Dallas' West Village in August, from an operator that knows the shopping center oh-so well. Called Mr. Winston's, it's from the founder of menswear brands Q Clothier and Rye 51, and will open on August 23 at 3699 McKinney Ave. #311.

Mr. Winston's is from Raja Ratan, and aims to offer quality haircuts and facial grooming for an approachable price.

A release says that the concept came from personal need: Ratan couldn't find a quality haircut or hot shave in Dallas without being in an overly themed establishment or upsold for subscriptions or grooming packages.

He wanted to create an "elevated but approachable" hub for men to get a haircut, shave, and have a friendly conversation.

It'll be an elevated, four-chair barbershop with classic barber chairs. Do you suppose that means the chairs will be elevated?

It'll surely be natty, if it follows the example set by its siblings. Designed by Dallas’s Foxcroft Studio, the space will offer nods to the traditions of the past, with navy subway tiles, oh that's fresh, and warm walnut wood framing the mirrors around each grooming station and seating area.

Carrara marble and hints of brass will bring a tasteful elegance, and the waiting room will be appointed with plush leather sofas.

The barbershop will be located in the front of the Q Clothier & Rye 51 in-house alterations room at their West Village location. Patrons will be able to stop in at Mr. Winston’s while they shop next door.

High-fashion name Miu Miu to open first Dallas store in Highland Park

Miu Miu

An iconic fashion name is opening a store in Dallas: Miu Miu, the Italian brand that's a younger sibling to Prada, will open its only DFW location at Highland Park Village, the open-air shopping center in Highland Park, at 12 Highland Park Village in the former Dior space.

According to a release, it'll open in fall 2025.

A representative from Highland Park Village calls the label "one of the hottest brands in fashion."

Miu Miu was founded in 1993 by Miuccia Prada as a more colorful spinoff of her original Prada label. Miu Miu is generally described as "playful," and targeted to a younger audience in their 20s and 30s — lots of pop-art colors and patterns, as compared to the more austere black-nylon reputation of Prada. Miu Miu is also less expensive.

They've had some ebb and flow in terms of popular appeal, but have been enjoying a surge of renewed interest and sales in recent years.

Miu Miu merchandise can be found at some stores including Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom, but not an entire store. The Highland Park Village location will carry ready-to-wear, footwear, handbags, fashion jewelry, and accessories.

While the release says this is the first store in Texas, there was once a Miu Miu that opened in Houston at the Galleria back in 2011, but it closed prior to the pandemic.

Miuccia Prada is in expansion mode: A massive new Prada store opened in December 2024 at NorthPark Center.

At HPV, Miu Miu will join a designer's den featuring retailers such as Akris, Alexander McQueen, Balmain, Brioni, Carolina Herrera, Cartier, Chanel, Chloé, Christian Louboutin, Dior, Fendi, Goyard, Harry Winston, Hermès, Jimmy Choo, LOEWE, Moncler, Ralph Lauren, Rolex, Tom Ford, Vacheron Constantin, Valentino, and Van Cleef & Arpels.
