The barber who's been cutting hair for 96 years

At 107, Anthony Mancinelli has been cutting clients’ hair for 96 years. And counting.

Anthony Mancinelli sits in a salon chair in New Windsor, New York, waiting for his next customer. Aged 107, Mancinelli is used to the routine: he has been cutting hair for 96 years.

Among his many customers is Chris Dunne, who has been a decade-long client at Fantastic Cuts, where Mancinelli has been employed for the last four years.

“He’s the only that does a really mean flat top. No offense to the other haircutters,” says Dunne.

A love for his craft keeps this centenarian at work. “I got to keep going and it seems to keep me younger,” says Mancinelli, who first picked up a pair of hair clippers aged 11. “I can't stay home doing nothing.”
