The Pole is a barbershop in Penfield. It recently came under new management, and the new owner is making renovations to create a lounge atmosphere. Current amenities include a pool table and a PlayStation 3 video game system.

The Barber, Rob, is a nice guy, on the younger side (thirties). He does all the things a good barber should, including: Shaving the neck with a straight razor; trimming eyebrows (upon request); and finishing with scissors instead of clippers.

I was very pleased with the cut. There was a female barber there too, and Rob was cutting a woman's hair, so it's not just a place for guys. I'll happily go back.

Also - the sign out front said something like "Barbershop", not "The Pole", so don't be confused. :-) —RichMulvey


2009-04-18 22:11:15   On June 1st I will celebrate my 3rd Anniversary as owner of this shop, as well as my 5th anniversary to my lovely bride, Karen. My patient clients are the very best, as I have been working on renovations for most of that time. I will have renovations complete by June 1. New additions include a theater-styled popcorn machine dispensing free popcorn, Playstation 3, and couches that recline. I am determined to create the best Barbershop the city has ever seen and have a multitude of ideas that I will slowly be rolling out. These ideas will certainly raise the bar for all Barbershops everywhere, so stay tuned. I have delivered on all my promises to my customers, but the best is yet to come! —RobPalermo
