Barber Chairs



This was one of my favorite items to track down. For a not very affluent society everyone gets shaved in a barber's chair, and the chairs are peppered ALL over the cities. In the afternoon every chair was full. I missed a lot because of this, but I was able to find these early in the morning before they were opened for business. While I loved the chairs, an equally awesome series would have been the Tables housing supplies + propping up mirrors in front of the chairs. Sadly, the tables were only set up once business was open, and to photograph them would have required my clearing a client + chair out of the way... Not something I was able to ask or comfortable doing. I would love to go back and add those beauties. I would imagine if you traveled all over the country, the table/supply/mirror set up would be an awesome coffee table book.
