First Post

Welcome. There is no hidden objective here @SLCbarber. No I am not a barber but a connoisseur of them. I enjoy the conversation (most of the time), the atmosphere, smell, and the overall experience from going to a Barber Shop in beautiful Salt Lake City, Utah. Some people think the barber shop is dead nay I say to those. With places here in SLC like The Barber School, in Midvale next to Shane Co (everyone in UT knows where that is) the corner of State Street and 7200 South, ha thanks Tom Shane for that one.

How this all got started:

I started to go to 9 to 9 barber shop in middle school and HATED my hair cut! But I liked the environment. I think it was more the concept and idea of the barber shop. Guys just relaxing and getting their hair cut, shooting the breeze, getting a back massage, and a straight razor on the neck and side burns after the cut, finishing up with funny smelling aftershave. When I was younger I truly thought the barber would take to much hair off my head making it shorter than I cared for. But I really enjoyed the back massage and straight razor.

Then I started to become more professional! Yikes, I was getting my hair cut more regular and enjoying the actual cut looking for the most experienced barbers in SLC. Seeking different places, different prices, and experience.


My wife and I always joked that I would go to a new barber every hair cut, which is mostly true.
A friend of mine who is a foodie in SLC has a wonderful blog about SLC food hence the name of her twitter account SLCfoodie. We were all joking that since I like going to new barber shops all the time I should start a twitter feed SLCbarber. As time as it the blog is now rocking and rolling. I do have 2 cuts that I need to post about.

I also wanted to post more about different places here in Salt Lake, I don't want the Barber Shop to die so its up to us to continue the practice of going to the barber shop.

Please give any feed back you wish. No worries if it hurts my feelings I will just cry. But please this whole world of blogging and twitter posting is VERY new and foreign to me.
