IN 1953, Bob Vacher served one year apprenticeship after graduating
from barber school... and then he struck out on his own. In 1961, he
relocated to the corner of Lynn Valley Road and Mountain Highway and
has been there ever since. In those 27 years Vacher has seen big changes
in Lyno Valley. His business is made up of regular customers and he
always gives seniors a special price. Vacher refers to barbering as a
vanishing trade and says ‘‘once the old barbers retire the barbershops as
we know them will disappear.’’ But in the meantime, Vacher will stay put
and keep the same hours he has kept all along — Tuesday. to Saturday

from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
