Jay Tomes, Master Barber

Jay Tomes, Master Barber, is a licensed barbershop in Winston-Salem offering precision haircuts, straight razor shaves and beard trims for men. His signature is the Executive Cut, which begins with a consultation on face shape, lifestyle and preferences, then includes a scalp massage, shampoo and a hot lather straight razor neck shave with a hot towel finish. He also does gray blend-back color using Redken Color Camo, which requires a visual consultation before booking.

Appointments are the way to go, and the shop is at 503 Harvey Street. Jay's work covers Winston-Salem and nearby towns including Kernersville, Clemmons, Lewisville and Walkertown, and he says more than 10% of gross profits go to local and global charities. Weekday hours run through the afternoon, with Saturday and Sunday not listed.
