Residents looking for haircuts, grooming, and personal-care services have several local options in Jay and Livermore Falls. These range from a traditional barbershop focused on men’s grooming to family-friendly salons and a day spa offering a broader mix of beauty treatments.

Organizing businesses by service type can help readers quickly identify what is available nearby and decide where to go based on their needs.

Barbers and salon businesses focus primarily on haircuts, styling, and grooming, without regularly advertising spa services. For many residents, a haircut is both a practical errand and a welcome reason to get out of the house, offering a refreshed look that helps mark the start of the New Year. For families, it can also be a timely fix for children whose bangs have grown too long or who are simply ready for a new look.

Spruce Mountain Barbershop is a traditional barbershop specializing in classic cuts and men’s grooming in a relaxed, community-oriented setting. Services include men’s haircuts, beard and mustache trims, head shaves, and both traditional and contemporary barber styles. The shop operates by appointment, with availability varying by booking. Clients are encouraged to call or book online. Address: 210 Main St., Jay; Phone: 207-500-2069.
