Old Fashion Barber Shop Photos in small town America

The Old Fashion Barber shop is exactly what it says it is. A small building on South Main Street in Jasper Georgia.Front of the building

The Barber poll works and is the traditional advertisement. There is a bench outside where you can sit if you do not want to wait inside. This shop has many things that make it a wonderful experience.

It is not called a boutique, a salon, or a hair emporium. It is a Barber shop. And it really is a barber shop in the many ways that some of us who have gray hair can remember.

Inside the shop

Yes that is right they have the old time Barber chairs. I am almost 6'4" and love the fact that I do not have some plastic seat cutting into my back about 1/2 way up. You can see the old sinks mirrors and paraphernalia in this picture.

The 2 Barbers are Becky and Mary. They own this shop and are each wonderful to have cut your hair.

I am a Barbers kid so I grew up around a shop my father had in Woodside Queens where there were big chairs, men smoking cigars, opera on the radio, and always good talk. The Old Fashion Barber shop has Oldies playing and folks talking about crops as well as local events. It is really a community hub. It is a place to go chat and learn. If any of you have seen the movie Barber shop you get the idea.

Becky and Mary give great haircut's and if you really want the full experience you can even get a shave from a straight razor.

The Old fashion Barber shop is a complete hair cutting experience. They do great work, and oh by the way, at  the end they have electric  back Massagers for when you are done!!! Even my father did not have that !

In my opinion this is the best hair cut you can get North of Atlanta

Looks very similar to the barber shop I frequent. Those walls are full of sports memorabilia. No appointments, no stylish, no women's cuts, just a barber shop, complete with a wall display of shaving mugs.

We have a few of those in our area too.  What a great treat to know that the small independent shops aren't completely being coupled by the chains.

Last of a dying art and tradition,

The American Barber shop local news, family talk, honest and sincere.

Some fun laughs and good natured teasing among old friends.

Across 3 chairs you can have 3 generations of one family grandfather, son and grandson

getting there hair cuts at the same time. Old time family and community ties

No chain stores, young guys calling you man or dude
