THANK YOU
For Your Continued Patience…
Since the beginning of the pandemic and again after a member of our family has taken ill we have been working short staffed…as a result at this time on most days Anthony operates just one of our barber chairs…Please know we are doing our best to provide service to as many clients as possible
Wait times are sometimes longer and as a walk in shop very hard to predict however you should be able to get in most days. Wait times vary throughout the day from 1/2-1 plus hour. Please note that visiting towards the end of the day there may be a back up of patrons and may not have time to get to everyone.
- Our hours have unfortunately been shortened late afternoons to accommodate recent caregiving of a parents and wife's health conditions, attending some dr appts, as well as remaining short staffed. We are doing the best we can given the complexity of our circumstances.
- **Attitude directed at the barber will not be tolerated, it only makes these days more difficult and will not improve the situation**
- While working low staffed we apologize we cannot take phone calls, if your calling to ask if we are busy and we do not answer, we really are…please stop by at your leisure for service during our regular hours of operation.
AS A RESULT OF LOW STAFFING PLEASE BE ADVISED OF LONGER THEN USUAL WAIT TIMES DURING PEAK TIMES OF DAY.
We sincerely do apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience and understanding…as this is a pitfall of operating a small family run business.
We sincerely appreciate your understanding, patience, and support throughout all the changes during these past
few years that have been full of uncertainties.
