Garry's Babershop -- Essex Junction, Vermont
I got my haircut here three times, so I feel confident and justified in saying this: unless your desperate, look somewhere else. The first time I got my hair cut at Garry's I was in a rush and not going to be picky about how the cut turned out. It was cheap, quick, and "close enough for government work" as the saying goes. There are four hair cutters (I wouldn't call them barbers or stylists, not by a long shot) on duty and I would not recommend any of them. I don't call a haircut using hair clippers and a vacuum to suck up the hair unless you're on your way to basic training. Garry (yes, boys and girls there is a Garry) does do a brisk business in shampoos, conditioners, and any other hair care goo you can dump on your head. A parade of women looking for low-cost, high-end hair care products are constantly in and out to buy their supplies. On that end, I've got to hand it to Garry, he does a hell of a business. The last haircut I got there (or will ever get there ever again) we affectionately refer to as the Moe, and it was uneven at that to add insult to injury.
