GEORGE TOWN: Visitors stepping into a small barbershop squeezed between the buildings in the city’s World Heritage enclave here will get a peek into a bygone era.
A number of classic and rare vintage hairdressing tools, that have their own sentimental value to Verlarz Classic Barbershop owner S. Singgara Vella, are neatly kept in glass displays.
The 47-year-old, fondly known as Vella, said the antique items were from his personal collection, which also serve as an attraction.
