NORTH MERRICK, NY Michael Ilvayev was cutting away with his shears inside his boarded-up North Merrick barber shop with an electric heater to keep him and clients warm on Friday.
It s like he never skipped a beat when a car crashed into his storefront two days earlier. He s been busy with pretty steady business and many people from the community keep on walking in the shop to see if everything is okay. Everything is good, said Ilvayev, a Queens resident who has owned Michael s Barber Shop for about 2o years, during a short break from giving a hair cut. Nobody was hurt; that is the main thing.
