An entrepreneur found a popular corner to set up shop last week. Or maybe he was making a last stand against gentrification. In either case, things were getting hairy.
…it goes right into your hot dog bun! Ewww. And I’m with you, Sue, about the giant dog fur balls in the park. If pet owners can pooper scoop, they should clean up the hairballs, too!
everything is a racist statement to you communists.

No more unsanitary than everything else that you might find on a busy UWS street. May he prosper!

Sue, with everything on the streets and in the air all the time you think a little hair is unsanitary??? LOL!!! What in the world are you doing living in NYC?? What do you wear when you leave your apartment, a HAZMAT suit?

Ever heard of Mark Bustos? Look him up on IG. He’s a well known hairstylist ftom the Village that grooms the homeless and poor all over the world for free. He started a trend with barbers.What’s more gross is touching public door handles/knobs.
It looks pretty permanent to me. Perhaps they will open another near the Flatiron building.

It might interest you to know that birds find dog hair an excellent material for building their nests. It IS all natural!

This is the antidote to the banks, phone carriers, and Starbucks taking over our neighborhood.
Maybe we won’t become a mall after all!

While I’m sure a few will be amused by this “only in New York” moment, it’s devoid of class and quite disgusting. It never fails to surprise me how trashy NYC can be at times. This type of behavior should be shunned, not celebrated.
On the UWS? This guy doesn’t stand a chance. The whiners will be out in droves against him.

What someone really needs to do is put a couch and a chair out there and start giving psychotherapy sessions.:)
Why not? This is supposedly the new “Gig Economy”, per Thomas Friedman. This guy is just getting his “side hustle” on, as we are all being encouraged to do, right?
We should be applauding the ingenuity and the entrepreneurial spirit. What could be more American?!? U.S.A!!! U.S.A.!!!!
Haircut maybe, Gray’s, not until I get an apology for a soaked bun in sauerkraut water. After one soaked bite the server said “you already ate it.” I’ve tried to reach the owner to help educate his immigrant help, to no avail.
By the way, what happened to their typical topical signage. Could the owner be a “deplorable”?
Now THIS is the kind of thing I can support!
Gross – where does all that hair go?
I thought was gross when people groom their dogs in the park, now this!? Unsanitary!
meh, that area is one of the filthiest parts of the UWS anyway, I can’t imagine this makes it much worse

Relax, Sue. The hair goes in the hot dogs. You didn’t know that?
The hair flies into Ray’s Papaya of course, lol. Seriously though, where are people grooming dogs in the park? That’s something I haven’t seen (yet).
Where are you supposed to sit while you’re waiting?
It looks charming but it’s actually gross. Now the UWS is becoming Washington Heights, where you can do anything you want on the sidewalk.
That’s a very racist statement, the UWS would be lucky if it had half the sidewalk vibrancy the heights has

“Look him up on IG.”
What does he have to do with the Inspector General? Is he being investigated for breaking a law?
Looking for a job as a manicurist. Is he hiring ?
Everyone here is always complaining that there are not enough local businesses. There you go. As long as he is paying fair rent for the space.
I hope this doesn’t become a case of hair today, gone tomorrow.

You tell ’em. Westport this ain’t.
This little patch @ 72nd & Amsterdam is awful.
It’s dirty and grimy and full of homeless people. It also smells.
Now some dude is giving haircuts there. Wonderful.
Well clutch my pearls.

A shirink would make a killing at that location.
What does he charge? I can use the money saved from boycotting businesses involved with greedy landlords (Triumph Hotels) to spend it here.
Looking good!
No shampoo?
Where’s his license posted ??
i’m getting my next cut there
Next will be giving Brazilian waxes on the sidewalk.
I’d pay to see that.

Oy.
Does he do coloring?
