Help Me Howard : Barber Pole


Are you a taxpayer? We all are. Now imagine being a taxpayer trying to make a new business successful and having one city official block a request after two city boards approved it. What can you do when a city official does that? One solution, contact Help me Howard with Patrick Fraser.
WSVN -- When you hear people talk about the old days, this is the kind of place they were talking about.
Elena Linares: "What we do here is offer the old fashioned hot lather shaves. We encourage them to get their hands done, their feet done, and we specialize in hair cutting."
Elena Linares opened RazzleDazzle barbershop in Coral Gables this year.

RAZZLEDAZZLE Barbershop

RazzleDazzle Barbershop

224 Miracle Mile (in alcove), Coral Gables; 305.461.4666

No matter how pleasurable, there's something shameful about pampering yourself -- unless you pamper with technology so dated, it could easily turn fatal. Primp like your granddad used to, at RazzleDazzle.

From a woman who owned a 16-Supercuts empire in Fla. and Puerto Rico, RD looks like a pre-suffrage men's parlor (marble-topped Victorian cutting stations, old-timey chandeliers, Tiffany lamps, checkered tile floors), rocks ESPN and The Three Stooges on hi-defs, and hawks old school grooming services performed by a staff dressed in the traditional shirt/vest/armband/hat (casual Fridays = bathing singlets). Facial action includes neck shaves, beard trimming & shaping, and full shaves performed with hot lather, oil, and a straight edge razor (you can get a cheaper electric shave if you're in a hurry/a squirming coward). Other services include hand & foot treatments, haircuts, tea tree oil scalp treatments, shoe shines, and shoulder & neck massages for a buck a minute -- the parking meter increments make sense, since there's the possibility your too-relaxed carcass will have to be towed away.

To regularize things, grab a year VIP membership and get unlimited haircuts & shoe shines, two hot shaves a month, the prerogative to cut in line, and free Scotch or vodka upon arrival -- just step gingerly, because in the barber shoppe of yore, nothing spelled death like drinking and line-cutting.
