Simple formula keeps two
shops alive in Aggieland
By Jennifer Gressett
The Battalion
With the help of a few local
barbers and the linger of town talk
in the air, the vanishing American
barbershop has managed to stay
alive in Aggieland.
Cecil Krueger (left), who has been cutting
hair at Northgate Barbershop for seven
years, cracks a smile after putting on the fi
nal touches of Brandon Lo Porto's haircut.
Lo Porto is a freshman aerospace engineer
ing major from Fairtype, Ala.
"There was a time when being a
barber was a respected profession,"
said Ray Thomas, owner of both
Southgate and Northgate
barbershops. Although they
primarily cut hair, Thomas said
they were often dentists and
doctors as well.
In fact, the barber's pole
originated when bloodletting was a
duty in barbershops. While the red
and blue stripes stood for the blood
and veins, the white stood for the
bandages which bound them
afterward, Thomas said.
Thomas, a junior industrial
distribution major, took over the
business two years ago when his
grandfather Troy Causey retired
from 50 years of being a barber.
While barbershops were big
business 50 years ago, Thomas said
that they're "not real high tech"
today. That seems to be just fine
with Southgate barber Chuy
Espinoza, who formerly styled hair
in beauty salons.
"Barbershops are more
interesting," Espinoza said.
"They're quicker, 1 meet more
people and I have more fun."
Among the most frequent
customers seem to be members of
the Aggie Corps of Cadets, who
Jim Perkins, who has been cutting haiiii
Northgate Barbershop for a little moref
a year, runs the razor across thetopofi
patron's head.
make up 90 percent of their
business. In fact, most of the
Aggies get a new trim every two
weeks, Espinoza said.
During a recent trim on his
"skunk stripe," freshman cadet
Michael Voinis said he goes to the
local barbers because the beauty
salons "don't do it right."
Besides that, barbershops seem
to have an atmosphere all their
own. Once crowded with low
characters telling tales of scandal
and revenge, Espinoza said in
today's barbershops most of the
talk is of sports.
But whether you're up for a trim
or you're simply looking for a new
friend, barbers all over town are
ready to give you a taste of the
"good old days."
Of course, the bleeding and
bandages are long gone, but the
spirit of the American barbershop is
still alive in the heart of Aggieland
