Kids!

I will be honest.  Doing the haircut of a little boy can be really tricky.  They move and squirm when the tools come close to their ears and hairline, and they are not always happy about getting a haircut.

But I have to tell you, when you come across a story like the one I will relate to you now, it makes cutting the odd kids hair worth it!  After all these kids are our future!

So the story goes like this... I had to step out of the shop today to retrieve something from my car around lunch time.  I locked the shop door of course.  Then on my way back I see a father and son at my door step, the little boy has tears in his eyes.

  "Whats wrong", I said.  "He is sad because he thought you were closed! He doesnt even do that for me when I am away at work!"  

  "Oh Anthony!" I said, "You love me eh!" Anthony looks at me dead in the eye with serious face and says, "Yes."

  That my friends makes cutting the odd squirmy little monkey worth while.  

A Special Neighbourhood In The Junction

Something wonderful about our little community in the Junction is that everyone gets together to help each other... My front window sign was hand painted by a wonderful man Don Tiffany, these pics were taken by another gem of a gent Nazir Syed.   Everyone gets together and puts in a little of what they have and this gives our area something these Walmart plazas will never have... its called CHARACTER.

The Junction has changed a lot in the 9 years that I have been here, all for the better I think, except maybe for the prices in rent that small businesses are forced to pay. The area still has an edge and its own vibe. However one thing that is remarkable is that in the Junction we do it our way, and its a good way, and if you do not like it you are free to leave!

I am grateful to everyone who supports Mr. Barber, you are all very special to me!  Enjoy your life folks :)
