Pruneau's Barber Shop

West Boylston is a unique little town just on the outskirts of Worcester. It doesn't even compare to the size of Worcester but it still has many little attractions to go to. There are a bunch of little pawn shops along West Boylston street which is considered the main road in West Boylston. We have a cinema that gets all the new movies just as they are about to come out on DVD but it is only a couple of dollars to get in so its worth it. There are 4 baseball fields and a football field with a track around it, there is also a playground located next to the elementary school which is open to the public. We also have all the things other big towns do like Wal-Mart, McDonalds, Dunkin Donuts, and CVS. We may have a small little town but it is big and unique in its own way! Pruneau's Barber Shop is located on the corner of Prospect st. and Pinecroft Ave. It is a little tiny Barber Shop that seems to be very well known around town. They do everything that a salon would do for you. Wash your hair, cut your hair, and even dye your hair for you. A lot of kids that I have asked have heard of Pruneau's because they had gotten their hair cut there when they were younger and some that I asked still do go. But kids are the minority that go to Pruneau's. Older folks seem to be in there a lot of the time to get their hair cut or even just to chat with Mr. Pruneau. I chose Pruneau's Barber Shop because I think it really defines the type of town West Boylston is, small and humble! Pruneau's is a great place to get your hair cut! You will go home happy!
