Chances are that if the mayor of Dallas names a day after you, you’ve done something right. Such is the case for our Best Realtor winner Kathy Hewitt, who had Sept. 3, 2003, declared “Kathy Hewitt Day” by then-mayor Laura Miller in recognition of all Kathy’s work on behalf of the Dallas community. Whether its lending her talents to selling homes or supporting causes like HRC Federal Club and Dallas’ AIDS LifeWalk, Kathy is always at the top of her game. Who knows, maybe a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is next on her list? She’s certainly already earned it — just ask her happy clientele.

BEST BARBER
Woody’s Grooming Lounge
5610 Lemmon Ave., B-1

Wanna know the difference between a barbershop and a hair salon, aside from the four-part harmonies? The salon was where your mom took you for a haircut; the barbershop is all dad. It’s a manly place, to be sure, and be ye otter, bear, wolf, twink or not-yet decided, the team at Woody’s Grooming Lounge is at the ready to give you a style as smooth or scruffy as desired. Known for their guy-friendly aesthetic and relaxing atmosphere, Woody’s provides more than just a shave and a haircut (in truth, it does cost more than four bits), guests can also indulge in luxury services like facials, massages and even manscaping. Fair warning: All this pampering (and that hot facial towel) can prove addicting.

BEST TAILOR
J’s Tailor

Astitch in time saves nine … unless you have no earthly clue what that phrase even means, and then you’re screwed. Don’t worry — just because your mom isn’t around to sew your Halloween costume and you can’t tell a needle from a bobbin — that’s what J’s Tailor is for. They have the experts who know how to hem everything from a frock to the denim pant leg, who can add a cuff or reduce that roll in your DIFFA jacket, or let out the waist because you had to have that last piece of birthday cake. And don’t worry — they won’t tell your mom.
