I was truly saddened last night when I heard from my friend Maria that the Salsa Barber of Smith Street was closing his doors at 259 Smith Street for good after many years in business. Macho and his barber shop were Known as much for the haircuts as for the salsa lessons given at night in the storefront.
A hand written sign in the window states:
Dear Customers,
It has been a pleasure serving you, but we are officially closing!! Please come join us as we bid farewell to the end of an era on Saturday, March 5, 2011! Macho's new location will be 404 50th Street" 718-290-6988.
At least, the Salsa Barber found a new home in Brooklyn, but he will be missed in this neighborhood. With him goes another piece of Carroll Gardens history.
