Not Your Average Barber Shop

Jon Hedgecorth, who co-owns RAD Barber Shop with Reya Goggin, generously gave us a few minutes of his time to tell us about this one-of-a-kind business and its award-winning online reputation.

The first thing we wanted to know was what it is that sets RAD Barber Shop apart from the many other barber shops in Missouri. Here’s Jon’s response:

“We are a RAD barber shop. We want to be different by bringing back old techniques, like hot towels and straight razors. But we want to bring that modern feel. We don’t alienate anyone, and everyone is welcome regardless of age and gender. We have an awesome atmosphere, with pictures on the wall and a rad feel. Everyone feels welcome, and that supports human connections in our shop.”

Jon went on to say:

“[We are a] full-service barber shop that focuses on any gender and any age. We aren’t just for men. We support women who get short, shaved cuts as well.”

Building Success With a Love for People

When we asked Jon about RAD Barber Shop’s secret to such a strong online reputation, he said:

“We love people. We take everything seriously, but we have fun doing it. We see a revitalization of the barbering field. It really is a passion for us instead of just another job. We love being part of the community. We live five minutes away from our store, so this really is our community, too, and our home.”

Outside of building the kind of online reputation any business owner would envy, RAD Barber Shop has spread the word about who they are and what they do by posting photos on Facebook and Instagram, sponsoring a female roller derby, having strong support for the Pride community, connecting with local business owners and through word of mouth.

Clearly, Jon knows a thing or two about growing a business and building an online reputation. Here’s his expert advice for the many other business owners out there:

“Be yourself; stay true to who you are. We branched out in a place that tends to be more conservative but now has started to be more open to different lifestyles. We were the leaders that started that.”


Congratulations to the team at RAD Barber Shop for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Jon, for taking the time to speak with us!
