Day At Dabros
Haircut day! Time to tame the wild beard a little, so we'll go to 'DaBro' downtown. Sit back; it's time for Foma to sing Cash.Times have changed in Russia. 20 years ago, a man was at the mercy of the local beauty shops to get a haircut, and these places were stuck in every little entry or behind staircases. The lady barbers looked at you when you entered as if you were a cockroach that just climbed out from under the stove. In five minutes you were through, swearing to just get a clipper and do it yourself at home. The one good thing was that the ordeal cost about 130 rubles.Not anymore! Shoals of men's barbershops cropped up around the city, and in a style I had never seen in my life. Decor, multiple lotions, shampoos, clippers, scents, and a string of barbers who think nothing of spending 40 minutes trimming away at a beard. They even make a cup of coffee for you while you wait.Of course, you feel like Hollywood, before the fires, when you come out.Add a pizza and coffee to the downtown experience, and you're good to go!
