This is where the 9 to 9 Barbershop came into play. They brainstormed and came up with an old concept that seemed new because it was such a novelty in this modern day! A place for the guys...just like it was in Arven's day. A real barbershop where they know how to cut all styles of men's hair from very short military flat-tops, to business professional cuts, and also trendy new looks and then finish it with a straight edge razor neck shave. A cool nostalgic environment, sports on the big screen TV's, and always friendly banter going on. Finally, the whole entire market of men's hair cutting was no longer being ignored!
Ron, Rick, and Angela pooled their resources and scouted out a possible location. They decided that Draper was the best spot with the most potential because of the up and coming status of the community. They opened the 9 to 9 Barbershop in September of 1998. It was a huge hit and word spread fast! Guys were excited to bring their sons as it seemed reminiscent of barbershop visits with their own fathers. They told coworkers, neighbors, fellow church goers, team members. Often times entire high school teams would stop in before a game to get a fresh cut. This generation of boys had only known the unisex chain salons, so the barbershop was a refreshing new experience for them.
The shop grew and continued to hire on more barbers. After 5 years in business the 9 to 9 moved across the street just a half block West to a new space that would better suit their needs and meet the demands of the growing business. They feel very fortunate to the success they have had and want to thank the residents of the South Valley for their support and patronage. They hope to serve you for many more years to come!
If you have not yet been to the 9 to 9 then you must pay a visit and see for yourself the unique retro atmosphere, get a great haircut and experience the finishing touches which are a proud part of the barbershop traditions of yesteryear. That is what sets the 9 to 9 apart from any other shop in the Valley. They always go the extra mile to serve their customers. So stop by very soon and you will not be disappointed!
