Nostalgic place that gave me a good haircut for $16. Jeff the barber has more that 40 years experience and funny stories to tell.

Your visit to "Mayberry" is not complete without stopping at City Barber Shop (aka Floyd's). Mr. Russell Hiatt is in his late 80's but is still there doing $8.00 haircuts. It is a wonderful experience to drop in for a few minutes. read more

See all

Must visit Floyd's City Barbershop when in Mount Airy. It is free to visit and you will not find a more engaging host than Mr. Hiatt. Yes, they do actually still cut hair. When talking about the history of the barbershop and chairs/equipment, it is amply apparent that Mr. Hiatt loves what he does. Thank you for making our trip to "yester year" a great experience...will be seeing you again soon read more

Very disappointed. Went on a Saturday at 11:50. Website stated open until three. Sign on door said open. Door was locked. Old man in chair, I assume was barber, wouldn't look up from playing candy crush on his phone even though I was standing in front of a huge plate glass window. Once I knocked on the glass he did look up and gave me some form of unintelligible sign language that I assume meant; scurry away peasant, I have no time for you. Awesome! I would say that I will never visit the land of Andy Griffin again, but I live here. read more

Visited a while back on a trip from Raleigh to Northern Virginia. Always wanted to see the town and was so happy to find the barbershop! Floyd gave me a wonderful haircut! It was a good haircut and a memorable experience! It was like going back in time. As was the price! Floyd was so interesting and pleasant to talk to. I've been watching reruns of the Andy Griffith show and would like to go back to Mount Airy again. I understand that Andy's widow just opened a museum in town with Andy's memorabilia. Andy lived in retirement on Roanoke Island and we had a house in Kitty Hawk, NC. The locals were always talking about him and his persona in retirement seemed to be different, according to them, from the good all Andy we knew it the show! For me, at my age, the show evokes what I remember about growing up in the 40's/50s. It's a bygone era that I sorely miss, especially as I see all these young kids with their noses stuck in an iPhone or computer game. But time marches on. Thank God for places like Floyd's City Barber shop to evoke those feelings again! And thank you Floyd for a fantastic haircut! read more

Such a fun experience. Russell Hiatt is the barber that Floyd the Barber from the Andy Griffith Show is modeled after. He has cut Andy Griffith's hair, as well as a number of other celebrities, and even had Oprah do a show from the barber shop. The walls are COVERED with pictures of his guests. The man is in his 80's, but daredevil dh convinced him to give him an old-fashioned straight shave, hehe. He did a pretty good job, and very inexpensively, too! :) read more
