1776 Men’s Grooming Parlor

Take a step into the old school. 

1776 Men’s Grooming Parlor is not your ordinary barber shop. In fact, there’s no other place like it in Collierville. Forget TVs, sports, and bougie salons — instead, think old school. It’s the vibe that hits as soon as you walk through the door and get offered a cold beer. The walls are packed with all sorts of photos, from Elvis playing the ‘68 Special to James Dean playing pool. Some may seem a little more random, but those photos are a piece of each barber in there. It’s a nice touch, helping create the community ambience. Everyone has common ground. It’s like walking into that man cave you’ve always wanted. Don’t let it fool you, though, as it’s much more than that. Owner, Chris Farrar, established 1776 Men’s Grooming Parlor in Collierville to meet a need: “After The Beatles, guys stopped going to barber shops. They grew their hair out and needed hairdressers.” The hairdressers in 1776 are well equipped to provide those clean lines you’re after, or to tame that mane of yours.

So, go ahead… make your escape from work. Do it right. It’s not a haircut; it’s an experience. Enjoy a beer with a steamed towel on your neck. I dare you. They won’t notice until you get back – looking sharper than everyone else.

There is no chain, no franchise. You eat local. Barber local.
