I have had exactly the same experience as the author. Good haircuts as a kid at Sal’s Barbershop, then years and years of crap at salons, the most recent being the $35 junk haircuts by little girls who know nothing about cutting hair. Then finally trying to the shop on the main street of my town (also incidentally a Sal’s Barbershop) and getting a excellent, reasonably priced ($14 before tip) cut. I just wonder why I did try them soon.

My son and I have been going to the same barber for over 10 years. Chris in Hamilton, NJ. In addition to having a professional hair cut (not a blown dry style) it’s become a great tradition between us. Now that my son is away at college, when he’s home we make the time to get our hair cut together at the barber shop.

My barber, David, charges $15 and only takes cash. He’s been doing this for 20 years. I’ve tried many places some charging over three times the price but David knows how to do it right. There is a lot to be said for tradition.

I stopped goin when the old Italian barber in town died. The new guy charged me twice as much just beause he used a blow-dryer. Get real.
