How is a barber shop different than a hair salon ?
Barber Shops specialize in mens haircuts and boys haircuts and other barber shop services; hot towel shaves, beard trims, mustache trims, etc. Our barbers and stylists work on male haircuts all day every day, so they are very good at it. Salons specialize in women’s hair and occasionally provide a guy’s haircut. Salons also have the perm and nail service smells, which can be toxic.
