Barbers

Mike Garritano

Mike Garritano is from Maryland. He moved to Ohio in the 1960’s because of the better job opportunities. Mike comes from a family of barbers with his grandfather, father, and son all being barbers. He graduated Akron Barber College in 1960 and three years later joined his brother at the barber shop. His brother ended up moving to Florida in the 1970’s.

Bob Garritano

Bob Garritano followed his father’s footsteps into becoming a barber. He graduated from Green High School in 1982 and then went to Akron Barber College.

Tom Winter

Tom followed his father into barbering in 1987 and eventually took control of Winter’s Barber Shop. “I liked the idea of having a trade that I could take anywhere in the world,” says Tom. After barbering outside the area, Tom has returned to the delight of many loyal customers.

Corisa Thomas

I was born and raised in the area, graduating from Norton schools. I have always loved doing hair, my mom and sister are both cosmetologist and I followed after them. After a couple years as a cosmetologist, I wanted to become a real old school barber. So I went back to school and got my barbers license. I have now found my second home at Garritano’s Magic City Barbershop.
