Andy Visits "Mighty Sharp Barber Shop"

Sat, 08/04/2012 - 11:49am — Diane Dyer

Friday afternoon August 3 was my first trip to the newly christened Mighty Sharp Barber Shop, co-owned by Reed House and Richie Ellis. In the later part of July, after much consideration and deliberation, Reed of Reed’s Barber Shop joined with Rich of the Razor’s Edge. There is no haggling over who cuts whose hair. Reed’s regular customers get Reed and Richie’s regulars get Richie.

The barber shop has always been a place where patrons can come, get their hair cut like they want, and sit and talk. It conjures up the place I used to get my hair cut as a kid. Dad’s barber was always Randall Pugh in Central City. He took me there to get my hair cut as long as I remember until I was well into my teens. Randall quit the barber business at that time. After much searching. I heard about a new barber in Morgantown, and I’ve gone to Reed ever since.
Reed and Rich have joined up for what I bet will be quite a prosperous new venture. They’ll cut your hair in a short amount of time. But feel free to sit and stay awhile.

Hours are 8 am-5 pm Monday-Friday, 7 am-11 am Saturday and closed Sunday. It’s located next door to the old location, in Ashley Square. You can’t miss it!
