Have you ever watched the classic show Andy Griffith and found yourself wanting to visit Floyd’s Barber Shop in Mayberry? Well now you can… sort of. You may have noticed there is a new face on Market Street in Denton. Jordan Jarrett, the owner of Edwards Classic Barber Shop, opened his doors in August. I decided to stop by for a visit and was greeted by a friendly face and welcoming atmosphere.
Jordan is originally from Caroline County. He began his career by serving his country as a paratrooper in the United States Army. He enjoyed his job with the Army but was ready to settle down and enjoy his family. After seeing the world, he decided to come back to hometown. He loved the idea of the vintage style barber shop and figured there was no one better to open this classic place than himself. And what better location to do this than Historic Downtown Denton?
Jordan has created a retro feel by lining the walls with vintage barber shop photos and installing classic style barber chairs, complete with a red and blue spinning pole out front. However, he has a vision that goes beyond cutting hair. He wants to create a place where the community feels welcome – a place like Floyd’s Barber Shop in Mayberry. From our conversation, I can say he is well on his way to doing just that.
Next time you find a need for a trim or shave, stop by and see Jordan.
