Best Men’s Haircut

The Beatnik Barber Shop

241 W. Read St., (410) 669-3033

Posted 9/21/2005

It’s only been open for a month, and Peter the barber is just four months out of haircut-college in Dundalk, but we were lured by the trim look of the Mount Vernon storefront and the coffee & a haircut: $12 sign. And fuckin’ A if this ain’t the best men’s haircut in Baltimore. You walk in, read a little New York Times, sip some joe, and wait for Peter to finish up with the guy who walked in before you. Then you settle into one of three deluxe chairs and Big P. gives you a cut that’s just as good as the “styling” available elsewhere at a fraction of the cost in half the time. Peter says he can take on any length hair, ethnicity, or race, but no girls—unless she wants a boy’s cut. Let’s give the man some business, so he never has to go back to waiting tables in Little Italy.
