Does College Hill not count as Easton? J. Morgan Salon on Cattell St.!

I don't think it does, that would be in the Forks Patch. I think. I don't get it myself.

No, College Hill is part of Easton, but like I said above, I can't include every place in the city, or there'd be around 50 choices in the poll. If enough people say "J. Morgan," I'll add it.

J. Morgan salon

How about Anthony, Alex, and George at Crisafulli's Barbershop in Wilson?

Another vote for J. Morgan.

Leo's! On Fourth Street at Spring Garden. Leo----Leonello Emili---is one of Easton's treasures. He is one of our community leaders. No other barber can make that claim. Ask a couple of the local politicians who did not pass muster with Leo and suffered the ignominy of NOT having their election posters placed in his window. They lost, interestingly. Windowless and winless.
Leo speaks perfect Italian---and local dialetti!---and very imaginative, eloquent English. He has a repertory of enchanting stories with which he entertains ALL those blessed persons that sit in his venerable chair. He will cut anybody's hair, no matter how matted and messy. He once whispered to me that only a few of his clients were "barboncini disordinati!"---messy poodles! But you can be sure that he gave them beautiful haircuts none the less. Bei tagli!
Un tesoro, Leo!!

Hate to split hairs. Are not barber shops different from hair salons in licensing requirements and services? It's much more difficult to be licensed as a barber in comparison to cosmetologist. Some of those listed operations are not true barbershops-they cannot exhibit the striped pole. I would not trust them for a shave, maybe a manicure. And, besides give me a baritone and "eh, Figaro, Figaro, Figaro" The "Barber of Seville" lives! (Figaro, our barber hero, identifies himself as a "factotum"- a jack of many trades. "Ehi, Figaro; son qua!
Figaro qua, Figaro là,Figaro su, Figaro giù.Pronto, prontissimo son come il fulmine,
sono il factotum della città.Ah, bravo, Figaro,bravo, bravissimo,A te la fortuna
non mancherà. La la ran la, ecc.Sono il factotum della città") Sit in a barber chair and you get the latest in local politics, economics and sports. Just can't do that in a cosmetologist's chair. Long live the barber and the razor cut!

Ok, that's three for J. Morgan, so they'll get added to the list.

As for the barber/cosmetologist question: the poll is basically about where people go to get their hair cut. For some people, like me, that's a barber. I don't need anything fancy. Other people might want a bit more done.

I've gone to Hair Cuttery style places in a pinch, and -- as Another POV points out -- one thing that's always missing from them is the conversation.

Crisafullis on Northampton st !!!!

Bodacious is amazing!! Great staff, they always do a knock-out job on my hair!

Don't forget the amazing talent at Hair to Dye For!! Those girls do amazing work!

I know this poll is long gone, but I just wanted to clarify that there is legally a big difference between barbershops and hair salons. They each adhere to specific regulations. That being technically stated, there is CULTURALLY an even larger drift between the two. To combine these two business together within future polls just makes the poll itself moot and obsolete.

Hair 48, Jimi Harrison's salon! He's been cutting my hair for almost 30 years! He's always had a salon in Easton and he's the best in my book.
