If you’re traveling Route 66 in Oklahoma and need a haircut, a historic, Route 66-themed barbershop recently opened in Yukon, according to the Daily Oklahoman.
Bob Jeffrey, 60, moved from New York to Yukon to be closer to his daughter and her family. So he acquired the 70-year-old Midway Barbershop at 432 W. Main St. in Yukon, which is right on Route 66. It’s been renamed the Colonial Barbershop.
Bob Jeffrey has an affinity for the old. He collects barbers’ antiques, such as backward clocks that reflect correctly in the mirror, shaving mugs and brushes and rare street poles, and just about everything has a story.
A copy of Norman Rockwell pencil sketch “First Haircut” hangs on the shop’s wall. It’s a copy of the original sketch Rockwell gave to his barber Archille “Scotty” Cibelli, who is pictured in the sketch. Cibelli gave it to Bob Jeffrey in 1997 after the Jeffrey’s visited his barbershop in Stockbridge, Mass.
Best of all, a haircut is just $11.
