My mother took me there in the 1950’s for my haircuts. Louis cut my hair in what was called the Dutch clip style.
Been a customer of Robert for 20 years.
A true professional and gentleman.
Wish him the best in his next chapter.
My Husband went to Robert for over 40 years, when my Husband could not walk after 3 knee replacements Robert would come to the house and pick him up and bring him back My husband loved going to him they had a lot of stories to tell, when he passed Robert sent me a nice card, and on his birthday he called to say he did not forget his birthday Robert is a very caring person we need more people like him, I wish him the best on his new journey I will never forget him Thank you Robert.

My grandmother went to Louis’s every month to get her haircut and it was already curly so she didn’t really need a set .
So happy for you cousin. Enjoy your well deserved retirement. May life bring you all you wish for.
Love from your NH cousins

My dear mother Helen Lynch, went to
Louis & Co for over fifty years when it was located on East Broadway. She started going to the salon after she served in World War ll. She went for years to Ellie. She said she felt like a million bucks when she left the salon.
I remember going to the salon to have my hair done for my SBHS prom. May 4, 1966. In those days “Southie ” was truly “Southie”. Congrats to all and enjoy your next chapter of life.
