At the beginning of August we noticed the space at 299 Smith Street, previously home to longtime barbershop Sal’s, would once again be a barbershop.

cool – thanks!!
DH, walk-ins. Often the glass door is closed and they will buzz you in. I assume its in case the cops come, the gamblers have time to put away the cigs and cash. Be warned though that they barely speak a word of English, so you’ll be using hand motions, or just say “short” and point.
