Not Your Average Barber Shop
We were excited to learn all about The Rusty Razor Barber Shop and how they have gotten where they are today, so we sat down with John Hopping, who, together with Brittany Horst, owns the shop.
The first thing we wanted to know was what it is that makes The Rusty Razor Barber Shop stand apart from its competitors. John said:
“We are a good, old-fashioned hometown barbershop. We don’t get into the fancier stuff; we’re old-fashioned and old-school. We specialize in mens’ hair.”
John told us a bit about the Rusty Razor Barber Shop business mission:
“Our mission is to make our customers look and feel good about themselves. A smiling customer is a happy customer”
Building Success, Online And Off
The Rusty Razor Barber Shop has earned a fantastic reputation, so we asked John how they have managed to grow their business and get their name out. He said that they have been able to reach their community through social media, like Facebook and Instagram. Offline, having a location outside of a naval shipyard has been beneficial and has led to word of mouth and referrals amongst the nearby military community.
There are many businesses out there that are looking to build as impressive a reputation as The Rusty Razor Barber Shop has managed to. We asked if John could share any expert advice with these companies. Here’s what he had to say:
“Be patient, and be consistent with your service. Make sure your customers have a great experience every time.”
John concluded our chat with these words of gratitude:
“Thank you to all of our patrons and service members that keep the dream alive.”
Congratulations to The Rusty Razor Barber Shop for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and special thanks to John for taking the time to speak with us!
