Trim District barber shop to open on TPC Parkway

Trim District, a new barber shop, is opening up on TPC Parkway in North San Antonio in winter 2025.

The details: Owner Patrick Stanislas has been cutting hair for over 20 years and decided to open the shop after noticing a lack of barbering options in North San Antonio.

The Trim District will have 10 chairs, a private room in the back for a potential esthetician offering services, such as micro-needling, eyebrow treatments and eyelash treatments; and a separate section for shampooing, hair drying and chemical services like hair dying.

Stanislas said his barbershop is designed to provide a comprehensive range of hair and beauty services for men, women and children.

New luxury golf simulator and coworking space set to open near Fair Oaks Ranch

A new golf simulator is coming soon to the Boerne and Fair Oaks Ranch area, a spot that Co-owners Brendan Bean and Chad Taylor said is unique in the industry.

What you need to know: Inside 9 Golf & Social Club is slated to open sometime “before Christmas,” Bean told Community Impact.

It’s situated at 27650 I-10 W., Ste. 207, in the Napa Oaks Plaza near Fair Oaks Ranch.

The details: Not only will Inside 9 feature three public golf simulator bays for 24/7 member access, but there will also be a private, rentable fourth bay for small events, Bean said.

Aside from golfing, the hangout spot will have a coworking space with standup desks, a lounge, liquor lockers and more.

“There really wasn't one that meshed work, play, social all in one,” Bean said.

The simulators themselves are also unique—called GOLFZON, Bean said the South Korea-based systems use moving plates that mimic real golf course slopes, angles and more.

Statewide News
Voters asked to approve ‘significant’ tax cut for Texas small businesses

Texas is home to about 3.5 million small businesses, according to the National Federation of Independent Businesses. Estimates show that the average Texas small-business owner could save about $2,500 per year if voters approve an expanded business tax exemption on the Nov. 4 ballot.

The details: State Proposition 9 would exempt up to $125,000 of a business’s personal property, such as equipment, furniture and vehicles, from taxation. Texas business owners currently receive a tax exemption on property worth $2,500 or less.

“At $2,500, virtually everyone's paying this tax,” NFIB Texas Director Jeff Burdett said in an Oct. 24 interview. “If you have a desk, a computer and a chair, you're probably over $2,500 [in inventory]. … It makes no difference for almost any business.”

At the polls: Early voting in the Nov. 4 election began Oct. 20 and runs through Oct. 31. For more information about the propositions and candidates on your local ballot, visit www.communityimpact.com/voter-guide.
