BUFFALO, N.Y. — A new barbershop opened in the Elmwood Village.
Folks who stopped by ToneCutz716 on Bryant Street got some free food and entertainment, and they had a chance to get a complimentary haircut.
Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown helped cut the ribbon and got a fresh trim.
The owner of the barbershop said this day has been five years in the making.
"People see barbers as, we just cut hair," master barber Anthony Avery said. "But we actually make a mark on the world. We help people, we're therapists, we're artists, we get people looking and feeling good, and it makes us feel good. If you have a passion for what you do, there's nothing more beautiful than that."
ToneCutz716 is open every day except for Sunday, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
