Proper Barber Co. has opened at 150-A W. Granada Blvd. in the Granada Crossings Plaza, where owner Brandon Castaldi does classic barbering with a modern twist.
Men’s barbering has taken off in the past five years, Castaldi said. His customer on a recent day, Seth Mallory, agreed.
“I get my hair cut twice a month,” he said. “I like to be clean cut.”
He said it’s important in his job as a car salesman.
Castaldi said the tradition of gathering at the barbershop is coming back.
“Guys sit and talk,” he said. “Coffee and beer are available.”
On Saturdays, the TVs are tuned to college football.
A 2013 graduate of Seabreeze High School, Castaldi grew up in Ormond Beach. He was working as a barber at a local shop when the opportunity came up to open his own business.
Castaldi said he enjoys getting to know people.
“Every 30 minutes there’s a new person sitting in my chair,” he said.
He said many of the current styles have come from Europe.

Help for cancer victims offered
A group of Realtors invites people fighting cancer to apply for assistance with monthly expenses such as mortgage/rent, utilities, transportation, home care and child care.
The most recent event to raise money for this group was the Beach Bike Boob Cruise, organized by Caryn Baker, a Realtor and manager with Realty Pros Assured. Baker, who is also the incoming chairwoman of the Ormond Beach Chamber of Commerce, lost her mother to breast cancer.
“I know the challenges that cancer patients and their families face,” Baker said. “We want them to be able to focus on beating cancer, instead of stressing about the financial burdens.”
