\"\"<\/a>The New York times<\/a> had a good article this week on the renaissance of the barbershop as a hip place to get your hair cut.<\/p>\n

I’ve definitely noted the increase in stylish, upmarket barbershops opening across the country.\u00a0 More and more hip young men seem to be turning to barbershops for a classic Mad Men style cut.<\/p>\n

While many of these shops sport vintage barber chairs, antique fittings and good old-fashioned leather sharpening strops most of them are actually new businesses.\u00a0 The National Association of Barber Boards<\/a> has seen a 10% increase in licensed barbers over the last 2 years, growing from 225,000 to 245,000.<\/p>\n

I started to notice the trend a few years back with the incredible success of Rudy’s barber shop<\/a> in Seattle, founded by the owners of the Ace Hotel<\/a>.\u00a0 More recently in Vancouver we’ve seen businesses like the Belmont Barber shop<\/a> on Broadway.<\/p>\n

In New York the trend is being led by companies like: Persons of Interest<\/a>, The New York Shaving Company<\/a>, Frank’s Chop Shop<\/a>, The Blind Barber,<\/a> F.S.C Barber<\/a> and Snip ‘n Sip<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s neat to see the return of some classic men’s style.<\/p>\n
