1048 Barber Lounge

HistoryOriginally opened on Joseph Ave by Russian immigrant brothers, Progressive has been a neighborhood gathering place ever since. The original owners nephew is now 97 and has never been anywhere else. Progressive Barbershop, with our roots in the community, continues to be a gathering place for young and old, males and female and people of every nationality.SpecialtiesProgressive is Rochester's Oldest continuously named Barber Shop. Beginning in 1918 on Joseph Ave, to our current location, if you want an old school barber shop, this is it.

We specialize in the health and beauty of your natural hair first and foremost. We offer other services for those that want something new or fresh but without jeopardizing the integrity of your own hair. As professionals, it is our duty to ensure you get the look you desire but making sure you get the knowledge and instruction from your stylist to also maintain the look--not to simply send you on your way. Every texture and type is welcomed here.
