When did your business open? July 2017

How did you come up with the name? We wanted something that reflected how we want our clients to feel when leaving, feeling and looking like a true gentlemen.

Why start a business in this town? Working in the area for the past 10 years, I have many clients from Chappaqua, and it’s a great community!

What business are you in? Barber shop - men's and children's haircuts, beard trims, hot towel shave done by straight razor

What’s the most difficult challenge you’ve faced starting a new business? Finding the balance between home and work! But my family has been so supportive and my son is actually working with me for the summer, and has been very helpful.

What’s one highlight you've had since opening? Meeting so many new people! Also, the smiles on my client's faces when they walk out looking and feeling dapper.

How does your business give back to the community? We are happy to offer discounts to active duty military and veterans, first responders and Town of New Castle employees. We truly appreciate all of their hard work!
