“I was visiting Milford from Ohio for a work function on a cold, rainy Saturday morning and decided to stop into Don’s Barber Shop. Don is a true master barber with over four decades of experience, and it shows in every cut—he operates at the absolute highest level. We had a great conversation and quickly realized we share similar morals and values when it comes to hard work, respect, and running a business.
One of the coolest setups he has is an old-school vacuum attached directly to his clippers. It catches all the loose hair right at the source, so you walk out without any annoying hair down your collar or itching your neck. I actually brought a spare shirt expecting to change after my cut like I normally do, and didn't even need it!
As a fellow small business owner, I know how hard independent tradespeople work and how much overhead goes into keeping a local shop open. For anyone visiting a traditional barber like Don, please remember that tipping your barber for exceptional service is customary—regardless of whether they own the chair or the building. Barbering is a skilled craft, and showing appreciation through proper gratuity keeps great local institutions alive.
Exceptional service, top-tier craftsmanship, and great conversation. If you're in the area, don't hesitate to pull up a chair here!”
