    Whenever I see the words “gentlemen’s something or other” I always think of gentlemen’s clubs – and I never think the guys who go into those are really gentlemen. So, I wonder, do only gentlemen get their hair cut here?

    I agree with annie, the name is an unfortunate choice. But it looks like the business may have been around a long time and was named before the term gentlemen’s got a bad reputation.

    Beatiful picture. I like the classic style of the place.

    Annie and Denton, yes I know what you mean. But Denton is right, the business has been around for awhile and they mean “gentleman” in the British English meaning of the word. 🙂

    Carlos, thank you!
