Last Call for Haircuts: A Critique
Twins Bill and Jeff Haines have run their own barbershop since 1961 but now that they are planning on retiring, the shop is going to close. Spokesmanreview.com created a video about the pair and their shop.
The video was just under three minutes long but did an amazing job showing the shop as a quaint reminder of the past that will no longer be around in this new era. With the sound of a razor buzzing lightly in the background, their story unfolds about how this inseparable pair has run their shop over the years and made friends within the Lincoln Heights community. It displayed the amiable nature between the Haines and their clients. And seeing the various customers talk about struggling to find a new barber after the shop closes was so moving that it served to reinforce the idea that the closing of this one small shop will truly be a loss in the community.
The one major problem I had was the difficulty in figuring out just where this shop was located. It was mentioned as a part of Lincoln Heights community but the name is common enough to exist in several different states. Fortunately, the comments below the video list the location as Spokane.
