Artistic hair salon
If you book an appointment at the Unisex Hair Salon, you'll likely leave with a lot more than a haircut. Married couple Bart Forte and Lydia Forte-Santiago started their business in the Mariners Harbor section of Staten Island in 1986. Through the years, it has taken the concept of "barbershop culture" to whole new level. The hair salon is covered in canvases painted by Lydia. If you step into the back room, you can take art lessons from Lydia and listen to Bart play music.
