John Russo is one the last of the old timey barbers. He grew up across Daniel Street from his shop where the current Portsmouth Post Office is located. He tells great stories of days gone by with your haircut............no extra charge. Not a bad haircut either. I recommend a visit to Johns during your next time in Portsmouth.

John has a special touch. You either know him or visit once. If you have the chance to visit hes usually pretty busy but always gives you, your time in the chair. He works at his pace and is pretty funny to talk to. I love him and wish him well during these crazy times.

The shop is cool. You can tell its been there for decades. Jay and another guy were friendly. Haircut was ok at best.Jay puts some shave cream on my neck, then drags a completely dull razor over my skin doing absolutely nothing besides taking the cream off. My neck is still hairy as if nothing was done. If youre going to offer a neck shave like a barber should; actually shave the neck, not fake it.

Super haircut at a very reasonable price. John gives a great cut and a better story. Hes got a great history thats worth asking about. One of the best parts of this unique and special town.

So I stopped in because this was an old time barber shop and I Thought that might be interesting and I was visiting the city.First - When I left I didnt like my haircut at all, it was not evenly cut and I had to go get it touched up at my normal stylist the following day.Second - The whole time he kept talking about politics, I kept trying to change the subject because that is weird and I didnt want to hear about how great Trump was. Not only because I disagree but because that is not what you want to talk about at a professional place. I kept trying to move the conversation or not talk but he wouldnt let it go. The conversation ended with him pointing out a woman walking by the window and asking me if ive noticed how hot the woman are in the city and how they wear skimpy clothes. Wouldnt go back because the cut was bad and because he doesnt know how to be professional.
