The barbershop was an American cultural icon from the early nineteenth century through the late 1960s. For generations, the barbershop was a way of life; a place to relax, enjoy great conversations and get a fine haircut and classic shave. Over time barbers built personal relationships with their clients that lasted a lifetime.
As mens style changed, the unisex craze swept across America and barbershops almost disappeared. Mens options for getting a haircut changed over time and men started going to salons that were devoid of everything they enjoyed about getting a haircut. These modern salons were missing the classic touches of the American barbershop.
