Hello all,

Last week I had my first haircut in NY. I went to a new barbershop–Streetgang.com. Here’s how the conversation went—The barbers are standing outside talking. As I touch the door one of them says–what’s up yo. I said–I need a haircut. The man (barber) says–thats cool, hop in. (here I am wondering–should I go in or not. I decide to try it out–the interior was one of the most fanciest barber shop I had seen with the best seats and a big screen TV.

conversation continues–
what number blade yo–I am not sure so I tell him just cut a bit of hair and make it look decent—he says–thats cool.

So what you up to–I say nothing much, just working. he says—thats cool.

I see some trophies on the desk. I asked him where he get these from… Boxing–we box in the free time. than I notice some weights on the floor. I point to them–he says this is a training place for the barbers when they are free.

Intrigued I asked them why name a barber shop streetgang.com.. he said we wanted somethin cool.

Anyways he is busy cutting my hair and I was surprised to see the agility and his moves in cutting my hair.

In end he did cut my hair a bit too short in the back and a bit long in front, but overall it was a wonderful experience.
