Gayle's Barber Shop

COVID-19 restrictions closed down my two regular shops in Western New York. Had to hunt for another place that I was confident could do a flattop. Gayle's had a Google review that said the guy's been getting his flattop cut there for 20 years, and it's a stone's throw away from the Air Force Base in Niagara Falls so I figured it was a good bet. It was! There are three barbers, two chairs (they rotate - two guys and the owner's daughter). Lorraine, the owner's daughter gave me my flat and did an excellent job. She didn't go extreme at first and asked if I wanted to take about half the top off which was perfect. She said lots like to go horseshoe but I didn't want to go that extreme. It's a very no frills, old school barber shop. Currently you sign in and wait in the car as they don't allow waiting in the shop. I was in and out in about 30 minutes with a hot lather neck shave to finish it off. Would definitely go back!
