What makes a traditional barber shop? Patrick O’Brien envisioned an ‘ole time’ barber shop when he opened Bayou Barber in downtown Covington. With a striped pole out front, refinished vintage chairs, the chatter of “shop talk” and the sound of clippers whirring and scissors snipping, Bayou Barber hits the mark.
Patrick offers traditional men’s and boy’s cuts, including all of amenities: brow, ear and nose hair trimming; straight razor trimming around the ears, sideburns and the back of the neck (all the way down to the shirt-line if needed). Top it off with a hot-towel straight-razor shave, using oil infused shaving cream applied with a traditional Badger Hair Brush. A traditional cut means you can walk out of Bayou Barber with a completely clean look, ready to continue your day.
Being a traditional barber isn’t just about a good hair cut though. “It’s about good conversation and personality,” as one customer put it. A real barber shop is a place you feel welcome, where you can relax and talk amongst friends. This also draws people from all around to Bayou Barber.
Hal Moberg has been at the shop for a while, and Patrick recently hired Cherish Fink to ease the wait time during busy hours. Both are quality professional barbers with great senses of humor. Stop by and meet them yourself – Walk-ins only!
