WAKEFIELD—Three barbers at Jordan’s New Style snip, clip, and chat on Wakefield’s Main Street.
The previous barbershop relocated after a flood destroyed what had been a cozy basement spot filled with pool tables and the usual haircut mischief. The shop’s owners decided not to sign a new lease and instead moved to a new spot on Columbia Street.

Adam Lavelle, 19, grew up in the Chariho region and learned to cut hair with his friends. He’ll buzz skulls, trim chin spinach, and give you a “freshy.” But don’t be frightened, parents; that is just Adam’s slang for trimming your neck hair. By his senior year of high school he knew it is what he wanted to do with life.
