GUILDERLAND — A new barbershop opened its doors last Saturday at the 20 Mall.

Sims Barbershop, owned by Greg Zorian and Steve Vilot, was founded in Massachusetts, according to the Guilderland Chamber of Commerce.  At the shop’s grand opening on Saturday, “Zorian offered many giveaways,” the chamber’s press release says.  The items that were not given away will be distributed at a future broadcast to be hosted by PYX 106 at Sims Barbershop.

In addition to haircuts and traditional services, Sims offers a shaving school that teaches men how to shave according to their facial complexions.

Zorian has been a barber for the last 18 years and has won “awards for the services his barbershop provides,” the release says.  Four Seasons magazine named Sims the second best barbershop in the world, according to Zorian, the release says.
