In these barbershops, a buzz costs extra.
Undercover cops bought nearly $45,000 worth of cocaine during an 18-month investigation from two barbershops in the Bronx and Brooklyn, where workers offered blow along with trims, shaves and fades, authorities said Thursday.
The drug-slinging shavers even gave one undercover cop a haircut as he waited for his dope, according to the NYPD and city special narcotics prosecutor.
Most of the undercover buys allegedly took place inside the Noel Barber Shop & Unisex on E. 138th St. in Mott Haven.
Undercover cops caught employees selling cocaine out of a barbershop in the Bronx and a shop in Brooklyn. Owner Noel Peralta, 37, peddled his product with help from barbers Jose Fernandez, 22, and Carlos Sanchez Galan, 19, police said. A fourth man, Francis Quezada, 29, was a deliveryman, officials said.
When Peralta was running low, sources said, he hooked undercover cops up with his alleged supplier, barbershop owner Jose Cruz, 46, in Cypress Hills.
