I have gone to a salon, just once, before I was a barber, and I never went back. They're what's killing the barber shop. In salons, a guy can't just get a haircut. If you haven't been to a good old-fashioned barber shop in years, you give it a try. They are still around, and the fact that they haven't changed is what makes them so great.
Barber shops are beautiful in their simplicity.
