On any given day, U.S. Male is filled with men of all creeds and colors, either taking their turn under the buzzer or waiting with a magazine in hand.
Manager Doug Crossland credits the store's location and staff for the shop's success.
"We're pretty particular who we hire," Crossland says. "We have a young crew that interacts with the college crowd well.
That crowd is coming from all around the tri-state area. He says his staff is familiar with all the cuts customers request.
"They know what the styles are - everyone's well-versed," Crossland says. "Even the tape-downs and blow-outs kids from New York and New Jersey like - we know how to do those better than some barbers up there."
That expertise is what turns first-time customers into regulars. Crossland says business doesn't wane in the summer months and he's used to seeing some people come in every two weeks.
Perhaps the door stays open because he can't keep it closed.
