Justin Morris

Why did you start the business?

I decided to move the tradition of true barbering to Sebring. The old barbershop feel and style has seemed to fall aside as more and more stylists open barber shops.

Is there anything unique about your business that makes it different from the competition?

We still shave around the ears and the back of the neck after each haircut. It gives the true finished touch to each haircut. I believe anyone who comes in and tries our haircuts will definitely come back again.

What challenges do you face in business?

We are new here and there are a lot of haircutting shops in Sebring. Plus the old, beautiful Circle has lost some traffic to U.S. 27.

What do you like about your business?

The ability to meet new people and make friends. The friendships people make with their barber are truly a great feeling.
