The Old Fashioned Barber Shop
A True and Classic Tradition
The Old Fashioned Barber Shop located at 9270 Indiantown Road C5 Jupiter, Florida 33478 is owned and operated by Ellen Lillian . Ellen's a Master Barber with over 25 years experience. Ellen's goal was to step back in time and reestablish the traditional barbershop for men. Specializing in flattops, shaves, & beard trims.
The Barbershop was an American cultural icon from the early twentieth century through the late 1960s. For generations, men went to barbershops for a fine haircut and to enjoy great conversations with the barber and fellow clients. Barbers were held in as high esteem as doctors,growing strong, personal relationships with their clients that lasted a lifetime.
The Unisex Solution
As men's style changed, the unisex craze swept across America and barbershops almost disappeared. Men's choices were limited to salons that were devoid of everything they enjoyed about getting a haircut.
Interesting conversation and personal relationships were replaced by cold plastic seats, unpleasant chemical smells, and awkward periods of silence. Stylists often clipped away at lightning speed to move from one client to the next as quickly as possible.
The Barbershop Returns
After more than thirty years of decline, barbering and barbershops are making a comeback. In fact, barbershops are on the rise and growing faster than beauty salons. Today's men have specific requirements regarding personal grooming and are no longer interested in discount chains and unisex salons. They instead demand the warm,personal atomsphere of a barbershop, as well as the feeling of comraderie found among the patrons.
