Village Barber Shop

This is the type of barbershop that's on the endangered species list. A true throwback, no frills shop straight out of the 60s or 70s. Chairs are ancient (but very comfortable) and the shop furnishings are clearly original. It is what a barbershop is... not one with flat screens, loud music and a pool table. Right in the village of Fairport it truly is a piece of Americana (or as Kramer would say 'Anytown, USA."

Both barbers are getting up there in age. I had Roger 1st chair closest to the door. It's a two chair shop. After COVID, they switched to appointment only and do it a little differently. You just get whoever is available at that time (from what I gather at least, you may be able to request but when Roger finished, I was next up so that's how I got him). Hours are very abbreviated, 10a-2p Tues - Sat (I think those days at least, not 100% sure).

Roger uses Osters, is a little shy at first to go short (I asked him to turn my 3 week old flat back into a flat and skin the sides high). He started with a 1 on the sides, showed me and I said he could take it all the way down.

The flat was great, perfectly flat. No landing strip (I didn't ask for one so again I think he was a little hesitant to go too short, but it turned out great). We didn't speak a word during the cut though I'm sure I could have if I wanted to, but I like just relaxing. No straight razor finish around the neck/ears but you do get the old school hair vac all over so there aren't any stray hars when you're done. Cost of the cut as of July 2022 - $15!

If you're anywhere near Rochester, NY - get here while you can before they hang up the clippers.
