Jr's Barber Shop is permanently closed for business. After 30 plus years of grooming and shaping the heads of Manhattanites and K-Staters, Jr, at the age of 78 has officially retired from the hair cutting business. This means for all of us whose heads have been graced by Jr's scissors there are no more soothing shoulder rubs after a long day at work, no more monthly doses of second hand smoke, no more dirty jokes, and most of all it means hundreds of us will be on the streets looking for another good barber. And just for those of you (Amanda) who don't know what the big deal is; a good barber is like a good bartender. He is someone you can confide in, someone who will always pretend to listen to you no matter what you are saying, and someone who will always respond to you with some of the best generic advice you'll ever hear. A good barber makes a haircut personal. It will be hard finding another barber I trust as much as Jr.
So here's to you Jr. It's been a pleasure getting my hair cut by you and I hope you enjoy your retirement and I hope its filled with lots of fishing and lots of time with your grandchildren. Aggieville won't be the same without Jr's Barber Shop.

I totally agree Cole! Finding someone who you can trust with your hair and still have great conversation, get advice, or just rant about your day is hard to find and not an easy task! Good luck in your search for another Barber!
i know a couple of barbers here that would love to see you again!
God bless Jr. and God bless Dan and Jerry at C&S.
