Cash-only barbershop offering precision straight razor techniques and haircuts. Open Tuesday through Saturday.

Overview

OK Barber Shop is a traditional barbershop at 706 East Ridge Road in Rochester, NY, near the border of the Town of Irondequoit. The shop has deep roots in the community, with a history stretching back decades. For more than 55 years, barber Tony Tramonto cut hair at this location before retiring at the end of 2018, having provided an estimated 150,000 haircuts over the course of his career. The Town of Irondequoit recognized Tramonto's contributions by declaring a day in his honor. Today the shop continues to operate as a walk-in, cash-only barbershop with a focus on traditional techniques.

OK Barber Shop provides classic barbering services, including:

  • Men's haircuts

  • Straight razor work

The shop is open Tuesday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM and Saturday from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM. It is closed on Sunday and Monday. Walk-ins are welcome, and the shop operates on a cash-only basis, so visitors should plan accordingly.

Known For

OK Barber Shop is known for its old-school barbering approach, with straight razor techniques and hot towel shaves that reflect a traditional style of grooming. The shop built a long-standing reputation during Tony Tramonto's five-decade tenure, during which his clientele included figures such as boxer Carmen Basilio, Bishop Matthew Clark, and Paychex founder Tom Golisano. That multi-generational neighborhood presence has made the shop a familiar fixture along the East Ridge Road corridor.
