Sam’s Barber Shop

Sam really take his time to carefully make sure you are getting the best possible hair cut. Sometimes there is a wait as he is the only barber, but it is absolutely worth waiting for. He finishes off ever cut with a straight razor on the side burns and on the back of the neck. You won’t find this type of old school cut anywhere else.

I used to live in the neighborhood back in 1994. There are several barbershops located in this area. Sam has been in business since the 60’s. His shop is modest and it’s only him, but he does a great job, takes his time and more important cuts my hair straight.
If you want a 15-​minute hair cut, go somewhere else. It’ll take Sam at least 20 – 30 minutes because he’s deliberate and careful which I appreciate. Some other barbers i’ve been to make fun of him, but I keep coming back. They say he’s too slow, but they never criticize the quality of his cuts because they can’t.
He is the definition of old school, traditional barber. He uses shears and scissors and will shave around your ears and neck with a straight razor. He has a loyal customer base and he knows everyone in the neighborhood.
Don’t go to him if you’re in a hurry. If he has people waiting, he won’t talk. If you’re the only person in the shop, he’ll socialize. I appreciate that.
