Barbers: A before and after photo essay

The Brooklyn Paper

Here’s how our team made out:

“Before the haircut, I looked a little disheveled and not on my game. Now I feel like I’m on my game and extremely sheveled.”
Senor editor Vince DiMiceli

“Scientists say that haircuts are one of the few things that separate men from apes. Before I got a trim, I was doing everything I could to model my grooming habits after theirs.”
Reporter Ben Muessig

“Before I went to the barber, everyone in the office said I looked just like the guy from ‘American Werewolf in London.’ Now everyone in the office says I look like the guy from ‘American Werewolf in Paris.’”
Intern Tommy Nocera

“I’ve been doing this haircut thing for a long time and have learned the most-valuable lesson: get a haircut and your wife likes you more. And you can see why, can’t you?”
Editor Gersh Kuntzman
