2 Barbershops Now Open By 2 Brothers, 4 Doors Apart in Vernon

VERNON, CT — Two barbershops are now being operated by two bothers four doors apart in the Downtown Rockville section of Vernon.

Sam Flint, one of the brothers, said he simply opened a new shop Monday.

Both shops are on West Main Street across from Central Park and Vernon Town Hall. Sam Flint said he could have his new shop open by Tuesday after a health inspector visit on Monday. He took over a vacancy that used to house a convenience store and turned it into a barbershop. He likened to move to a house flip.

It's four doors away from Flint's Barbershop, which he operated with his brother, David. Flint's will keep the same name and the new one that has a generic sign over it this week will be called the West Main Barbershop, Sam Flint said.

He said the shops will operate separately.

Flint's in Enfield is staying put, he added.
