Silver Winner Rob Oxner, Saint Lou’s Gentlemen’s Barber Shop
Bronze Winner Michael Phillips, One Block Barbershop
It’s a repeat of last year’s winners’ circle: Phat’s on top, followed by Saint Lou’s and One Block. Are Haligonians falling into habitual hair cutting, er, habits? Well, why not? Phat reliably provides the “best lousy haircut in town,” with a guarantee that use of his services will get you laid, or your money back. Phat’s made such a name for himself that he’s got his own stalkerish saboteur, vandalizing his property and nearly putting him out of business when a cut oil line led to a costly enviro cleanup. Thankfully, his fans came through with a cash mob to cover the expenses.
