Our story · Since 2005
Two sisters and
a wall of hats.
Red Bank Barber Shop is run by Pam and Michelle, sisters from Ringgold, Georgia, who have each spent 35 years behind the chair. They built a shop where everybody is welcome, the prices are fair, and the walls tell a story.
Who you'll meet
The barbers behind the chair.
Pam and Michelle grew up in Ringgold, Georgia, and learned the trade the long way, through 35 years apiece behind the chair. When they opened Red Bank Barber Shop in 2005, the idea was simple: a clean, friendly, no-fuss barbershop where a kid's first haircut and a regular's hundredth both get the same care.
Two years later they moved the shop to 4105 Dayton Boulevard, across from Subway, and never looked back. Regulars have been coming for well over a decade. As one put it, thirteen years and still the best in town.
There is no card machine and no app. Cash or check, walk in or call ahead, and take a seat. That is the way it has worked since 2005, and it is the way folks like it.
The wall
Four hundred hats, and every one a gift.
It started the way the best things do, by accident. A customer left a hat. Then another. Two decades later, more than 400 of them line the walls of the shop, and not one was bought. They are all gifts from customers and former customers.
Some go back to World War II and Korea. Others came home from countries all over the world, dropped off by regulars who thought the wall could use one more. It has become the closest thing Red Bank has to a guest book, a quiet record of everyone who has sat in the chair.
Bring a hat in. If it has a story, it might just earn a spot on the wall.
