Owner/operator, Michael W. Haar, was born in Queens, NY. As a third generation New Yorker, he performed as a boy in the Metropolitan Opera, fronted various bands as a teenager, and studied music management with a minor in Jazz Guitar. He grew up with a fascination for Vaudeville which inspired his radio shows on EVR & WFMU for nearly a decade. Always an alternative youth, Haar shifted to pursue his other passion beyond music history, the art of Barbering.
Graduating from the American Barber Institute in 2006, this led Michael to train in London & Italy while building a notable clientele in his hometown, NYC.
