* Message From Bonnie*
Hello to all! I have an important announcement and major ask to make. As you already know our barbershop is small (smaller by the year) family owned personal care service business (its not a corporately run chain), and as such many of you know my family and I and we know many of yours. Whether or not I have cut your hair in the past, my husband Anthony cuts your hair now, you know I take care of this website, or maybe we have never even met I would like you to read this.
Unfortunately 1 in 8 women are diagnosed with breast cancer and I happen to be 1 who has recently been diagnosed with an aggressive type of invasive breast carcinoma that has advanced to my lymph nodes. I am now in active treatment (chemo), and set to undergo many tests as well as have surgery, more chemo, and radiation plus what all that comes with it over this next year. Im going to beat this but it will not be easy nor quick…Why I’m being so open about this is not for your sympathy but more for your complete understanding.
Now my ask is that you please respect and be patient and kind with my husband who has been trying his best to run the barbershop by himself while we have been not only helping to care for his father this past year but now for myself as well. Many times lately we have had to close the shop for multiple reasons and that will continue more-so now that I have been dealt this cancer. Anthony is a very supportive husband whom is looking after me and yet still trying to balance work and provide for us. In this case It cannot be one of those “don’t take your home to work, or your work to home” situations. As impossible as it sometimes seems we are managing our best to keep the doors open as much as possible. If you find we are closed early or all together on a day we should be open I assure you it’s necessary.
To save yourself a trip be aware that most times I will post closures here at top of page…PLEASE REVISIT THIS WEBSITE PAGE REGULARLY FOR UPDATES ON CLOSURES. Certain days Anthony may need to close a bit earlier than posted please try to be as flexible as possible when visiting the shop later in the day.
We sincerely do appreciate all of your patronage over the years… however (speaking to the few) there is no need for temper tantrums at this time as our tolerance to that is low and it does not serve any ones highest good. I have heard some of you have complained, cursed, sighed, threw your hands up, begged, etc. to not have to wait or to be taken last minute or that you came by multiple times… I ask that you keep coming back, keep him busy when he’s there, talking, and smiling when he can, be kind. Finally, I apologize if you cannot wait or be fit in during his very limited schedule and kindly invite you to go to another shop as needed in between if you must and do hope you’ll try back the next time…but again I ask that you DO NOT take out your frustration out on Anthony during this difficult time.
**Attitude or snide comments directed at the barber will not be tolerated, it only makes these days more difficult and will not improve the situation, be kind**
I also sincerely hope by sharing this post it may bring those who read it some added awareness to please remind the important women in your life to be checked if they are in the age range or at risk for breast cancer.
Thank you very much for your continued patience and understanding. Now…reverting my attention back to kicking this cancers ass!

About Us
The Classic Barbershop Experience
Newmarket Barbershop provides the best quality traditional mens barbering services at affordable prices. We are one of the last of the original Barbershops in the local area...est 1957, the traditions of our small family founded business continue today and we are ready to provide you the best customer service. Feel at home in our family friendly classic Barbershop environment, comfortable for all ages... from our family to yours, first haircuts to senior discounted haircuts and all the gentlemen in between.
“Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.” ~William A. Foster
Often imitated but never duplicated...We keep it simple for our customers with a menu of services that includes simply great traditional mens haircuts and classic straight razor shaves. We remain old fashioned...staying true in respect of the classic learned craft of the generations before us...making a constant effort to stick only to what we know best...
We proudly offer a limited menu of quality classic barbering services without the fuss and fluff of unisex salons or the hair tattooing, line-ups, or skin fades of more young modern shops. While we admire the skills these types of styles require we simply do not perform them and are happy to refer you to others who do.
We are proud to say our barbershop really is “old school,” while many refer to us simply as “a great old fashioned” barbershop.
For many of you who grew up here in Newmarket...“Our shop is your grandfathers barbershop.”
