The Main Street Barbershop in downtown Carmel, Indiana is full of original characters who like to have fun on the job and make people look good. Read the full description.

Georgescu_small Barber Shops are a dying business, but these guys are holding strong. When you ask people where they get there haircut, you will most likely get a list full of the more popular haircutting franchises in the U.S. This is what drew my attention to the Main Street Barber shop, because you just don’t se to many of them anymore. The atmosphere and the camaraderie that you experience in the shop is like none other. All of the guys who work there are very unique and make the experience of getting your hair cut at a barber shop a lot of fun. Barber Shops are a dying breed, but I really don’t think that they should be.
