Title: Downtown Barber Shop Closes
Post by: jay on October 26, 2010, 02:11:34 PM
The barber shop on the second floor of the YMCA has closed.
:'(

I feel downtown Youngstown still needs a reasonably priced barber shop.  Does anyone know of someone who may want to set up shop in the downtown?  It might be a good job for an individual just out of barber school.

Is William Leonard's not reasonably priced?

I was thinking about the senior citizens and others on fixed incomes who live in the downtown highrises.  Where do they go to get a hair cut?

A recent example of reasonable (South Side of Youngstown)
Until his retirement last year, a barber on South Avenue charged $6.00 for a haircut.  His barber shop was always packed with senior citizens.  He worked continuously.  I think he averaged under 10 minutes per customer.

Plus he had a good selection of magazines and a large screen TV.
