When John Lewis is in Atlanta and needs a haircut (or even when he doesn't) he stops by Vintage Hair Gallery in downtown Atlanta. If it's time for a touchup, the congressman and Civil Rights hero sits in barber Rob Winkfield's chair.

On Saturday, news that president-elect Donald Trump had disparaged Lewis and his district via Twitter was the talk at Vintage.

Winkfield couldn't disagree more with Trump's latest 140-character tirade, but he's willing to put politics aside and serve his country by doing what he can to give Trump a new 'do.
