Hopefully your state is in good enough shape to re-open if it isn’t already. We are more or less fully into our Phase One here in Florida, and last Monday that began to include barbershops and other places I don’t care about but am glad are operational again.
As we start re-opening, I want to highlight small businesses so that we can help funnel money their direction and keep them around. I’ll be highlighting ones I patronize here in Orlando, but if you want me to draw attention to something in your neck of the woods, let me know and we can work something out!
On the last day of spring break, I got a haircut. Yesterday was the first day of summer break and was my first chance to get cleaned up. I had just starting going to Clippers Barber Shop earlier this year because it was literally in our neighborhood. I looked them up online and made an appointment. I actually did this on Monday to be clear. They only take appointments at the moment, but honestly it cuts down waiting and you should do that anyway.
Jose hooked me up, and also happens to be the owner/manager. We chatted a bit about life, discovered we were both Christians (not the main reason I’m sharing), and I was out the door in under 30 minutes with less than hair than when I came in.
If you’re looking for a barber that’s open, and you’re in Orlando, specifically the Winter Park/Casselberry/Oviedo area, check out Clippers, and make an appointment on Booksy. They are clean, courteous, and professional, and the inside of the shop has a nice vibe. Also, there’s a really solid Boston-style pizza place next door called North End Pizza. You should check them out too while you’re at it!
