Barbetorium/Fusion Salon delivers a first class experience in one of Rochester's most competitive neighborhoods when it comes to hair.
Walk in and you will be pleasantly greeted by someone at the front counter. The space has a fun vibe to it while being very neat and orderly. You'll be cheerfully offered a beverage of choice, mine tends to be a Yuengling.
Women's cuts are done in the middle area while the men's are in the back. Each section has two chairs and are rarely unoccupied. Off to the side is the shampoo area.
Having only gone to a more traditional barber in the past, this was a new experience for me. And one I quickly embraced! I always get the "Lux cut" which comes with a shampoo, scalp massage and hot towel. Afterwards we head back to the chair for a trim.
My only complaint is that I wish it took longer! It is such a relaxing and enjoyable experience that unfortunately it goes too fast.
Jes is the person I go to without fail, although everyone seems to do a first class job. In between full haircuts they encourage you to stop in for a complementary quick trim up as well. Finally, book ahead! Don't expect to walk in here! It's worth it! read more
