Robert
Wagner with the dream of opening a Rock-n-Roll barbershop established
Rockabilly Barbers in July 1998. Despite contradictions from many,
he opened with three barber chairs and an ass kickin' sound system
and some great memorabilia, hence Rockabilly Barbers was born! Within
one year Robert had to expand his business to larger quarters. Due
to public demand Rockabilly Barbers was a stupendous hit!!
Moving to a larger store on Larkfield Road with now eight chairs
and operators Rockabilly Barbers continues to grow. In October 2000
Rockabilly Barbers North was opened in Huntington Village. The phenomenon
continues.

edge of men's hair fashion. The shops are staffed with young and
talented barbers with the knowledge of ALL facets of men's hair
design - using only the best of men's hair products.
