Small, family-run businesses are the heart of our state, and of our country. Family-run businesses that have endured the tests of time and the challenges of an ever-changing economy are even more remarkable. When these businesses remain viable and busy for over a quarter of a century, this is beyond commendable, it is downright amazing.

This is the story of David’s Greenwood Barbershop, a neighborhood barber shop located on a quiet stretch of Post Road in the Greenwood section of the city. This barber shop has occupied this spot in Warwick for 26 years, having outlasted many competitors who have come and gone with the passage of time. Owned by Dave Picozzi and his talented son Geno, this barber shop is everything one would expect from an All-American success story.

Dave and Geno can be found cutting the hair of men and boys, five days a week, at David’s Greenwood Barber Shop where Dave has been found for all those 25-plus years. Together, they have earned a long list of loyal customers, many of whom had been coming here since its humble beginnings. These customers wouldn’t go anywhere else. They know their hair will be cut with consistency and attention to detail. They know that cut will be affordable. They know that they will be treated like family because, in those intervening years, they have become more than customers to Dave and Geno ~ they have become family.

David’s Greenwood Barbershop has long been the “go-to” destination in Warwick for both traditional and contemporary cuts. Men and boys of all ages have been coming to this familiar and longstanding barber shop for literally generations. Whether it is a classic look you are after or if you have a trendy new look in mind, they will do their best to achieve that look, and get you back on your way in no time flat. David’s Greenwood Barbershop remains, to this day, a favorite of both regulars and newcomers alike.

As the Picozzis move into the next quarter century of business, they are quick to express their gratitude to the many customers who have patronized their business for these past twenty-six years. They know that their longevity is entirely due to those customers who have made it a part of their regular routines to visit this landmark business, no matter what the economy looks like or how busy their lives become.

The Picozzis say “Thank You” to their current and former customers….and to the many customers who have yet to discover this familiar hometown business. They owe everything to you.
