When Mike Swenson bought the place eight years ago, he pledged to keep with tradition by offering a classic American barber shop experience. “It got started as a one-chair shop in 1964 and it remains the oldest working barber shop in Dana Point today,” says barber Scott Young. When the beloved landmark was torched by fire last year, the community rallied to rebuild it. It re-opened six months later with four chairs and its large loyal following intact. 34085 La Plaza,

Eight new classes were also added. Slow gentle yoga with essential healing oils is their most popular offering. 24582 Del Prado, Suite G,
