Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
Established in 2013 as a brother shop to local favorite Silver & Gold Barbers and Stylists, S & G Classic offers the same quality service one has come to expect from the Silver & Gold family in a traditional barbershop setting. We wanted to create not just the style and technique of classic barbering, but the feel and experience of an old school barbershop. Thanks to our barbers Joe, Austin and Carrie, we have done just that. All our barbers have years of experience in traditional barbering and S & G Classic is just what the name implies, a classic barbershop that remains true to the spirit of the original barbershops.
What is your primary product or service?
We specialize in men's grooming services, everything from scissor to clipper cuts, African-American haircuts, tapers, fades and military cuts to beard trims and straight razor shaves. Enjoy a game of darts, relax in front of our tv, or play Xbox 360 while you wait. It's a man's world at S & G Classic.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I'm Laurie, owner of S & G Classic. My parents opened a barbershop before I was born, so I literally grew up in the business and have always had a love and respect for traditional barbering and old school barbershops. I have fond memories of getting the Tootsie Pops from the basket, wondering where the stripes went as the red, white and blue barber pole spun outside and playing on the barber chairs. To a child pumping the chairs as high as they could go and spinning them quickly around as they glided to the floor was like an amusement park ride, much to the dismay of my Father who tried in vain to keep me off them. Following in my Father's footsteps, I began cutting hair in the early eighties. I now focus primarily on administration, but cut when I can at our original shop, Silver & Gold Barbers and Stylists. I believe barbering is an art and I have a true love and passion for it. Barbering is a huge part of my life and our family history. I am proud to continue the tradition at S & G Classic Barbershop.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
Many people are unaware that there are two types of licenses available to cut hair, one is a cosmetology license, where the training is focused primarily on scissor cutting, hair styling, hair color and waxing services. Additions may be added to this license to allow for shaving, but the primary focus is not on classic barbering. The second licence available is a barbers license, where the training is focused on the use of the clippers, scissor over comb techniques, beard trimming and the use of a straight razor, all traditional barbering techniques. All our barbers are just that, licensed barbers who have been trained in services that are tailored exclusively towards men grooming.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
We currently have two locations. Our family style shop, Silver & Gold Barbers and Stylists, and our traditional men's barbershop, S & G Classic Barbershop. Please see our website, silverandgoldbarbers.com
