Mission #5: Best Barbershops

Posted on 21. May, 2009 in Health & Self

Now I’m not the type of person to spend $50 bucks at a fancy schmancy salon just for a haircut when you can get the same quality trim at another shop for a cheaper and better experience. I also avoid places that have stylists that clearly don’t care about your hair. I’ll admit it, I grew up going to one of those unisex hair salons like Pro-Haircutters and usually ended up with some random person who left my sideburns uneven. But since I’ve come to Hoboken, I’ve only trusted barbershops. Because let’s face it fellas. Barbers know how to cut a man’s hair. Need a free haircut? Keep reading!

THE MISSION

Find the Best Hoboken Barbershops

A barber is trained to cut with clippers and scissor with finesse. And nothing beats the traditional shave with that single blade razor and hot lather of shaving cream. And when you’re looking for a good conversation, you can count on barbershops as one of those chill social hangouts where men can “chew the fat”. Ultimately, barbershops become an great experience in and of itself.

As I walked across Hoboken the past few days, I’ve spotted a few of those infamous red, white and blue striped poles. Some new and some dating back to the days where I wasn’t even born yet. I’ve had my few experiences with Hoboken barbershops and I have to say, I do have my favorites. But I’m here to find the best, and I’ll need your help.

For those of you that help me out with this mission, you will get a little treat.

THE PROCESS

1) Over the next couple of weeks, I will scavenge across the mile square and visit various recommended barbershops recommended by the Hoboken community.

2) If I consider your recommended barbershop worthy enough to be one of the best, the haircut is on me! Yes, you read that correctly. I WILL PAY FOR YOUR HAIRCUT.** I’ll also write an extensive review, give you credit and dub thee a “Hoboken Guy Sidekick”.

HERE’S HOW YOU CAN HELP

- Share your favorite barbershop by commenting below.

- Please specify the name and describe why you consider the barbershop one of the best in Hoboken. The more descriptive, the better chance of you getting that free haircut.

You can get a pair of precious ghd gift set online from one of the GHD price comparison sites.

You don’t want to be using dirty straighteners on your clean, shiny hair!Turn on your purple ghd set and let them heat up. When they’re at maximum temperature, a beep will sound and the LED will begin to flash. It takes around 20 seconds for new ghd rare straighteners to reach maximum temperature, depending on the temperature of the room you’re in. Then, to start with, take a portion of hair and run your brush or comb through that section to make sure that all the hair is untangled.

Born in the USA As far as Coach Madison Audrey bags is concerned, resellers located within the 50 US states are most believable. Steer clear of auctions from overseas, especially that of Hong Kong, where the counterfeit handbag industry is a big business.

Buy new, not used Cheap Coach handbags, unlike automobiles, aren’t inspected by a lemon detector. Read auction descriptions carefully and do not hesitate to ask questions about a product’s condition or request additional photographs. Stock photos are NOT acceptable proof of any merchandise’s legitimacy, regardless of a seller’s reputation.

lv designer handbags

The choice of the most suitable handbag can make your whole outfit just POP!

Now, let’s just acknowledge that this question is very subjective. Style does not follow any official rule and in fact all the latest modern stylists are just going against all the previous trends. Be unique and let express yourself in an original way that will not make you a follower.
With that said, here are a few things to consider regarding your louis vuitton 2010 selection. The most obvious thing is to match. Does wearing the same color per se constitute matching? No! You can wear a color that contrasts in a beautiful way with your lv designer handbags. For example, sometimes red and pink (which are traditionally not supposed to be worn together) actually look pretty chic when combined carefully!

So it seems a little passé to simply suggest matching colors. That’s a little over-simplistic, in terms of style advice. It’s a new millennium and a new time, so remember that you can make up your own style.

Your louis vuitton shop material should complement the material of what you are wearing, though. For example, a leather handbag goes great with a leather jacket. A silky, shiny handbag looks stellar with a sparkly or shiny top.
