About
History
While in barber school together, Debbie and Ryan Vidotto (mother and son) envisioned and planned The Good Life Barber Shop. We love the barber tradition and the community that has grown around the barber shop. From the beginning, the shop business has been built primarily by word-of-mouth and we have the best client base on the planet. We strive to keep it a place a guy can really relax and get professional, great grooming (the coffee or beer is on us).
Our Team
We have the best barber team on the planet. Everyone is dedicated to their craft and serious about doing a great job for you!
The Good Life Barbers

We are so glad to welcome her back to the Good Life (she worked with us when she lived here before and clients always remembered her fondly). She is a great barber and is an overall fun person. She and her husband love Austin and their Boston (puppy). BookNow
