Those must be some damn fine hair cuts…

Barber/Hair Salon

“Have you ever done a post about barbershops in the area? I want to find a reputable shop for my husband. He’s white(ish), which matters in the world of haircare.”
I feel like I may have but it must’ve been a long time ago because I can’t find it. I’ve been a super cuts devotee for a while but I really ought to try some of the local shops. So I’m also interested in what folks recommend. Any regulars of some local spots? Does it really matter what race you are when it comes to barber shops? I’d imagine that they are trained and can do good work regardless of your hair type.

God bless the reader who submitted this sign. No commentary could possibly do this sign justice. Simply awesome.

Check out the scissors. But I think the real question is – what are the “Oldies”? Is that like a haircut and oldies playing on the radio? What am I missing here?

I thought this was a pretty wild sign in the window of the shop for sale on U Street near 9th. The scene looks ordinary but if you notice there is a little drawing in the center of the window just above the ReMax for sale sign. (Close up of the drawing after the jump.) It’s a pretty cool drawing of a nice dining area. However, I do find it hard to believe that someone would be looking to purchase property and see a drawing and have a eureka moment of – hey maybe a nice little restaurant would work great here… It is a pretty cool drawing though. Would be awesome if it became a reality. Drawing after the jump. (more…)

Awesome sign outside a barber shop. “Get It Right” is just an awesome slogan. When do you think this sign first went up – 50s, 60s, or 70s?

I love encountering shops that are in the middle of a residential block. I imagine that this sight was very common in the 1950s. But my question is: why are the shops in rowhomes on residential blocks always hair salons? I mean why not a hardware store every now and then? Have you guys seen any other shops on residential blocks besides hair salons?

I got a haircut today. Just a trim but a haircut nonetheless. At the end of the haircut the lady who cut my hair starting giving me a back massage. Like for 5 minutes. That’s weird right?

Oddly, a number of people have emailed me asking for Spa locations near Petworth/Columbia Heights. As I have been to a spa exactly zero times in my life, the only one I knew about was the Medspa on 14th St. in Columbia Heights. But I passed Ramona’s Day Spa and Salon on 3103 Mt. Pleasant St. recently and was wondering if any one has been? If so do you recommend it? It looks cool from the outside.
