Silver Spring is the most diverse city in America — and its barbershop scene reflects every dimension of that identity. From the unanimous community institution on Georgia Avenue to the award-winning salon on Gist Avenue, the Ethiopian hair braiding studio downtown, and the Colesville Road veterans who've been cutting for decades.
