A Hair Cut

by Sean Doherty

OK.. I would not have considered writing a blog about a haircut before today, but let me tell you.. this was one incredible haircut.

I frequent Supercuts when its time for my trims but I’ve decided to start supporting local, small businesses whenever I have a chance to avoid chain businesses. That’s for personal reasons is all.

So I went into a barber shop on Tennyson and about 40th St in Denver. If I remember correctly, the address was 4024 Tennyson.

This barber shop definitely had the old, classic barber shop feel to it, but was most astounding was the service. Supercuts brings me in, trims the hair, towels me, and then I’m pushed out of the chair and rushed up to the pay counter. It was different at this barber shop.

Service included a unique mix of new and old hair cut technology. There was a very fancy machine that distributed heated shaving cream. And my barber used the electronic razor as they do in Supercuts. But when he went to clean up my neckline, he pulled out the old-fashioned knife-looking razor (I’m reminded of that new Johnny Depp movie: Sweeney Todd). And once the shave was finished I recieved an aftershave treatment and, get this: a neck, shoulder, and arm massage aided by some electronic massage device.

I was so blown away by what a haircut could be compared to what I spent at Supercuts. Price?
Supercuts: about $15
this barber: $14

I left a six dollar tip.
