When I was a highschool student at IPA (Instituto Pan Americano), every month I visited my barber at Avenida Central. His name was (or maybe still is) Víctor. He was the best barber I’ve ever known. The barber shop was owned by his father and two other brothers. The cost of a haircut was half a dollar and was performed with great skill and dedication. I still remember the smell of the lotions Victor used.
Below is a picture of an old barber’s chair which I recently discovered at Mi Pueblito during a photo walk. It is an exact replica of Victor’s venerable barber’s chair. It’s so nice to walk through memory lane again.
