Walking in the door is like a portal to another time. House of Kardz is a straight up original barber shop, replete with old time barber chairs more than a hundred years old filling the space, wall-to-wall mirrors, and conversations that can only be had while men are getting set up.
In the center of the shop, The Joe Barber, is working next a table that is surrounded by scissors, clippers, and razors of varying sizes and shapes. I ask him how many different tools he has.
“I have quite a few, between seventeen and twenty, just the clippers they do different things, different speeds, some are a little sharper,” Joe answers.
