The Setting:
A beige wooden building with tall narrow windows, two of the windows show decals of a barber’s pole and say “neighborhood barbershop” in red white and blue. On the door in bold stylized font: “HOURS” are listed, and also “SUNDAY CLOSED”. Once you peep Inside the second door is a sign saying “ALL CUTS AFTER 6PM $5 CHARGE” and finally in red lettering “PULL UP YOUR PANTS”. Through the window is a very well lit, organized, and clean shop with a few barber’s chairs and benches along the side. The focused master barber with a well-shaped salt & peppered beard works on a client while they smile, laugh, and chat.
Synopsis:
This shop is full of hits: not getting hit by a car, to go hit on a girl, then get hit with a surprise!
