Olynxa Levy, a barber for 30 years and proprietor of the recently opened Oly’s Barber Shop, describes herself as a tomboy.

She said she doesn’t really cut women’s hair. “I’ve always worked in a barbershop. Put me in a salon, and I probably wouldn’t know what to do.”

Her barbershop is located at 2910 Marine Drive, the former location of Salon 29. But the location, she said, has a more than 30-year history as a barbershop, and she’s looking to bring back that business and sense of community.

Levy, who’s worked for Crossfades Analog Barbershop and Reef & Company Barbers, does haircuts, straight razor shaves and hot towel treatments in her 1890’s Koken hydraulic-powered barber chair, offering discounts for members of the military, veterans and for simplistic buzz cuts.

“This is a barbershop/studio,” said Levy, who also does lost-wax casting and other jewelry-making at her shop.

Oly’s Barber Shop is open from 10:15 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. It’s closed on Wednesdays and Sundays, and takes appointments Saturdays at 505-989-3611.
