BARBER SHOP

"$40 bucks for a barber? This better be good."

That's what I thought to myself when I sat down and waited my turn for a haircut at the FSC Barber Shop, on Valencia and 18th Street, yesterday afternoon.

It was the most precise haircut that I've gotten since living in New York City, when I was going to Sam at Chelsea Barbers, on W. 23rd Street. My barber (I've already forgotten her name, but she's the young blond) hummed along to The Beatles, which was playing in the background, as she buzzed, cut, and shaved away the bad haircut I had received a few weeks before.

I walked out of there feeling pretty good and, most importantly, looking good, too.

So, $40 bucks for a barber?

Yeah, it was worth it.
