Best Barber In Rochester, NY?

I go to school in a small college town outside of Rochester where there's only 1 barber and he's the oldest man in the town. I'm looking for a barber where I can get a real cut, nice skin fade/tight fade, ya know someone who is up on the latest barber cuts. Doing searches on Yellow.com have been fruitless. Can anyone recommend one?

Is Pal Joey on Mt. Hope near UR still around? Once upon a time that was a trusted shop.

Response by poster: I fell across their web site. Seems like it was bought by someone else because it's marketed more as a salon with chicks giving cuts.

Best answer: How much are you looking to spend? Not a lot? I have had good luck at Glover's at 672 South Ave in the Southwedge, between Gregory & Hamilton/Averill. They offer a student discount on a regular men's haircut for all of about $7. Maybe $8. Based on what you describe, this may be a good spot for you. FWIW, the chief of RPD gets his hair cut there.

You do know that women can be barbers, right?

I've been going to World Hair at the corner of Park and Meigs for years. They are definitely up on the latest trends and reasonably priced as well.
