Decision to close barber shop ‘difficult and complicated’

BRATTLEBORO — With deep breaths and heavy hearts, it's time to share with the world and our beloved and faithful clientele that after 31 years in business, Mac's Barber Shop has closed its doors permanently.

The decision was a difficult and complicated one. We understand that for many, many people, this is truly disappointing.

A barber shop is so much more than haircuts. It's a family, a gathering place, a supportive haven, a pillar of stability and comfort. We acknowledge this and we know that right now people truly need that support, that stability, that comfort, and it pains us that we cannot provide it.

We are beyond grateful for the decades of loyalty and support. We have appreciated sharing the special moments, the personal connections, the laughter, the tears. From baby's first haircut to getting polished for proms, graduations, weddings, funerals, and all of the little occasions in between, you put your faith in us, and we've been proud. We've traded stories and advice, celebrated your victories and mourned your losses.

We've been a part of your lives and you've been a part of ours. We will miss you.
