At the beginning of August we noticed the space at 299 Smith Street, previously home to longtime barbershop Sal’s, would once again be a barbershop. We thought the old institution might make a comeback, but the signage our tipster spotted proves otherwise.

BSD – are they walk-ins or do you need to schedule an appointment?
Butterfly – both are on Bayard St., one is called Brazil and the other Canton (I believe). They do great cuts, very meticulous and spend a bit of time.
BSD, where in chinatown? that sounds awesome, even tho i cut my own hair. i think it’s creepy having other people cut your hair.
*rob*

“Elan or Venelle?”
much worse. “salon de la rue”

Fcking hell. Obviously this means I’m getting old. I don’t need another place to get a $40 haircut.
“hipster barbers on Smith St…”
Is it possible to be apathetic about hair now too?
It’s still Sal, but he took a continuing education class in marketing and branding.

“I’m now going to a *salon* in PS run by a Russian hairdresser, which is beyond humiliating.”
GOTD! i dont know why people just don’t cut their own hair. it’s not rocket science.
