Before the invention of scissors, hair could only be shortened via naturally occurring escalator snags and inevitable bonfire curiosity. Snip strands the newfangled way with today's Groupon to Jamie's Barber Shop in Macon. Choose between the following options:

• For $7, you get a men's or boys' haircut (up to a $14 value).
• For $15, you get a straight-razor shave and a haircut (a $30 value).

Helmed by a friendly family of snipsters, Jamie's Barber Shop makes man-manes and shaggy cheeks neat, tidy, and easy to manage. Scissor aficionados shear gents with a no-nonsense haircut and also sculpt dapper ‘dos for hirsute toddlers (a $12 value, ages 12 and under) and mop-topped seniors (an $11 value, ages 65+), partnering with each client to craft a look that suits his personal style. Adept at the art of hair whispering, the barbers corral cowlicks so that strands thick and thin thank their owners by sitting still for yearbook photos and bouncing back into place after epic noogies. Faces that opt for the straight-razor shave and haircut get to hobnob with Jamie Stephenson, the shop's namesake, as he swaddles them in hot towels and lather-beards. The blade carefully detaches hair and stubble, leaving skin super-smooth, which allows clients to use their severed moustaches for scrapbooking projects.
