Barber Shop (Grand Rapids)

Di Trapani's Barber Shop
1001 Fulton St E
Grand Rapids, MI 49503

While I lived in Grand Rapids, I always got my hair cut by Fred at Di Tripani's barber shop. Over the years the price has gone up considerably (I'm joking, in 1998 it was $6.50, I think it's 8 bucks now). It's the best haircut in Grand Rapids.

President Gerald Ford used to get his haircuts there, mostly before he was president but a few times when he was a sitting president, so I am told. Imagine giving a President a shave, holding a razor blade to his throat. Must have been some really nervous Secret Service agents in there... I hope the barbers were Republicans.

I really miss this place and I time my visits back to Grand Rapids to coincide to times when I need a haircut.

Bill recommends this place.
