Fairbrook Barber Shop

Barbers are not as prevalent as they once were and that’s ok!
We’re a throw back to when men gathered and told tales, caught up on the gossip, and most importantly found a camaraderie with other men. And you left feeling like a million bucks with a fresh haircut and feeling of renewed sense of self.
Think of all the haircuts you got before a big day in your life! A new job, a marriage, a big date, or graduation! Milestones in a man’s life that he remembers for a lifetime. Look sharp, feel sharp, be sharp!
I opened Fairbrook Barber Shop in 1962! And now I’m shutting her down! It’s been a great run! 57 years of cutting hair, making friends, and sending men off with a fresh, new haircut! Off to big dates. To new jobs! To marriages and funerals. To Boot Camp. And off to war.
Now you may think ole Harvey is retiring but if you know me then you know that’s just not me!
So I may be closing Fairbrook Barber Shop but I’m not retiring just yet! Yes sir I’m just moving on. Onwards and upwards!
As of May 1st you can find me still cutting hair but I’ll be at the place I’ve always gotten my hair cut!
I’ll be joining Don Beaver at Hair Connection in Conover, NC.
Yes sir it’s time for a change! Time to for a new place! And time to make new friends!
I hope all my old customers, more old friends really, will take the time and swing by, have a seat in my chair, and we’ll drive on like always!
I turned 86 this past year so I’m what you might call vintage in a lot of ways! Vintage in my occupation and in life. Hell, we Master Barbers are dying breed anyway, but I kinda like that! Like other craftsmen I ply my craft, I take my time, and then I dust you off and send you out to meet life’s challenges! Then I get to hear how it all went when you come back in for a trim.
So come see at the place down in Conover! I’ll be there waiting. I’ll trim you up and catch up on all the news! They say there’s no school like the old school, so I guess that makes me a headmaster of sorts. Still going strong, still cutting hair, and still offering what you just can’t get over at Super Cuts!
