It's not clear if the armed robber got away with the day's receipts and tips but Eyewitness News is told one of the workers, a 42-year-old man paid with his life.
Police report he was shot several times and pronounced dead at the hospital.
Another barber, a 33-year-old man was shot in the leg and is expected to survive
As customers grieve for the victims, one neighbor believes the gunman was wearing a ski mask and holding a bag to carry away the cash.
Police say the suspect ordered the workers into the back room, but instead of a clean getaway blood was shed.
The barbershop which opened only a year ago and was already developing a list of loyal clients, remained closed Tuesday.
