Streets of Hope - Getting to the back entrance | 9: Shaving Lenny Hitman: Absolution Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
General assumptions: You should decide to leave the town only after eliminating three main targets. Getting to the door of the barbershop unfortunately is not easy, especially if Hitman was sneaking so far and didn't use disguises.
Traditionally, before you make a decision about advancing to the next stage, you should spend few moments to find evidence. You can find it on the floor of the car garage, near the stairs and a toilet (screen above).
As for the current mission objective, the place you have to reach is the door shown on the above screen. It is located at the back of the barbershop, inaccessible in a current stage, between the scrapyard and a garage adjacent to the alley with several parked cars.
You can get to the mentioned door in two ways. The first method is to cross the garage, where you can encounter at least two persons. Tips how to avoid them can be found in the Streets of Hope - Murdering Gavin LeBlond subchapter. As for reminder - the best way is to distract opponents with car alarm and use your Instinct to hide identity.
Another method is to cross the scrapyard. Also in this case I suggest reading hints in the Murdering Gavin LeBlond subchapter. Especially watch out for the single cop standing next to the fence.
Regardless of the chosen path, you have to approach the door and start unlocking it. This process takes few seconds, so make sure that no one will notice you during this action. If you want to make beginning of next stage easier, I suggest putting on Hope policeman disguise, so after getting near the barbershop you won't have to carefully move between covers.
