It maybe cliché to state; “if you love what you do you’ll never work a day in your life.” That said, we truly are passionate about what we do. Our chairs and signature shop equipment are reflections of that passion and our past success. It’s our belief that true barber shops are few and far between. An establishment that caters to a client’s specific grooming needs, where the atmosphere and vibe are based on the feel of traditional barber shops is dying out to the modern day chain cutters where quality and environment are facsimiles of an authentic art.
Haircuts have more depth and weight than most men are aware of.
For those that don’t care where they get their haircut—they don’t know what they are missing.
The rules of a man’s haircut are handed down from father to son, through osmosis in the presence of other men or advised by a skillful barber. If you have not been exposed to these influences, or have never been to a genuine shop where a gentleman gets more than a haircut and receives a five star experience—come to Punch Barber Shop
The plain fact is that all our barbers are boxing fans. The title of Punch can have that double meaning. But more so than that – the identity of the Punch character is associated with English culture, specifically beachside puppet shows and the figure of Mr. Punch as known today has a direct link with the commedia dell'arte (Italy) of the seventeenth century. The original significance of Punch's jester persona is entrenched in the characteristics of challenging the restrictions of society. The traits of Punch are woven in stories of hypothetical why not’s and what-ifs… the type of banter explored in discussion/debates found in parlors and establishments like a barber shop.
For decades, the Punch name has been synonymous with success and a strong masculine gender presence. This is evident with the types of businesses associated with the Punch name: Punch Cigars, Taverns, Clubs and restaurants. The Punch character himself cannot be trademarked as it is historical public domain. But a corporation can protect a businesses name: like “Punch Barber Shop.”
