For decades the barbershop has been a place where men can unwind and socialise with their friends while waiting to get a haircut.
Last year, the covid19 pandemic put a temporary stop on non-essential businesses, inclusive of barbershops and hair salons – two service industries where friendly banter is important to the experience.
One shop in Belmont, however, hopes to maintain close contact with their clients even if they are further apart.
