Summer Crew Cut

My son has had longer hair the last few years so we decided to get an old-fashioned clipper crew cut for the summer. There's no better place for that kind of cut than  Kay Mar Barbers in Orange.


It's a classic, old school style barber shop with four chairs and barbers that have been cutting hair for decades. It's cash only and they've been known to tell moms not to put too much gel in a kid's hair and give unsolicited lessons on the correct way to brush your hair. But they always have bubble gum for the kids and you're in and out of the chair lickety split.




There's an impressive collection of law enforcement and military badges along the back wall. There's an old operating cash register next to a television that I've never seen turned on and a pay phone I've never seen used. The small talk between the barbers and customers makes the place seems like a social club. Just the kind the place for a dad to take a son for a summer crew cut.

Here's the before. (Notice that hand painted lettering for the dry cleaner in the background. Pretty impressive.)


And the after. 





Bring on summer camp! Bring on the beach and the pool! This haircut screams, "I'm ready!"
