Sammy the Barber

Kenmore Ave, Buffalo, NY

This is where I go to get my hair cut.
Sammy's is the most unique Barbershop I've ever been in.
Since we moved to the city a couple years ago, I had been looking for a barber shop.
I can not stand Super Cuts or any of the chain hair cut places, but it took me a while to locate Sammy's.

It's a barber shop in which I believe a guy can get a haircut.

Great shot. As my husband says "I am going to the man shop." None of the primpy stuff for him.

If this place was in Swindon it would be where I'd go!
All the knick-knacks create a great atmosphere.
It's just a shame I wouldn't see any them when getting my haircut,
as I would have to take my glasses off!

You know, when I get a cut, depending on where I go there's sometimes those awkward silences and you try to make small talk. WIth with so much to see here, I don't think I'd have that problem at Sammy's place :)

That looks like a fun place.

Neat shot, Don
After I got out of the Army in 1957, I actually went to Robert's Barber School, which I believe was way down town on Franklin street. Anyway it was somewhere near the Aud. This takes me back!
