Sunday I attended a Zombie Sock Hop sponsored and hosted by Jacksonville Zombie Walk & Pomade and Tonic Barbershop.
Pomade and Tonic is a traditional barbershop that incorporates the care of the barber from early 20th century with the look and feel and personal attention and quality of the 40’s-60’s barbershops, with an addition of a lounge area and private rooms for additional services.
They also have a pool table!
Pomade and Tonic is active in the local community and frequently sponsors such events.
