Gentlemen, do you remember when Barber Shops were not a franchise operation in a mall or filled with high dollar hair products? The Barber Shop used to be a place a guy could go for a haircut and shave while talking with other patrons or the Barber. Those days seem gone as the shop has turned into a salon. For those of us on the Treasure Coast, we are in luck. There is a Barber Shop here that has been in the same location since 1975 and provides all the memories of times gone by, including finishing your haircut with the shave of a straight razor. Best of all, it belongs to Pat Watkins a fellow Veteran, having served in the Navy. Pat recently purchased Don s Barber Shop, were he has worked for over 20 years. If you are looking for a good barber shop, stop in and see Pat. Haircuts are only $11 and the shop is located at 2935 S. US 1. (On The Corner of Emil and US 1) The shop is open Tuesday - Friday 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM and Saturday 8:30 AM to noon.
