Shave and a haircut, plus a place to relax.
The Virginian-Pilot (Norfolk, VA) June 28, 2007 Byline: STACI DENNIS By Staci Dennis Correspondent OCEANFRONT An old-fashioned neck shave and a good haircut helps put Lev Huntington in a good mood. That’s why the 64-year-old followed Lori Newton to her new shop .
Newton opened Lori’s Barbershop at the North End Shops in May. She and her mother, Marie Forema n, and longtime friend Debi Bates focus on men’s hai rcuts and warm-lathered shaves.
“I didn’t want to work for other people anymore,” Newton said about opening her own business. “I was tired of being in a salon.” Newton, 40, started cutting hair in 1986 after attending Virginia Beach Beauty Academy and then trained with her mother.
The married mother of two went into “early retirement,” she said, but still took appointments in her home for about 18 month s before decidin g to open a shop.
“I started going stir-crazy staying at home all the time,” she said. “I wanted to do something else and make a change.” Newton started designing her 7 80-square-foot shop in March. She spent more than $35,00 0 installing plumbing, electricity, flooring and decorations. here men s haircuts
Lori’s Barbershop doesn’t take appointments; business is walk-ins only, she said.
In addition to doing men’s haircuts for $13 , services include children’s haircuts for age 6 and under for $10 and women’s haircuts for $15. The shop doesn’t offer shampoos, perms or hair color.
“We don’t want the place to smell like chemicals because most men don’t like that,” Newton said.
Sh e hopes to build enough clientele to hire two more barbers.
“I know I can come here and relax,” Huntington said. “I always leave with my hair looking great, ears trimmed and a clean neckline.” Staci Dennis, sdennis@cox.net CAPTION(S):
