Old School Barbering With A Twist
After we left our two-year stint of operating an award-winning barbershop in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, we came back home to Lehigh Valley with the vision of providing top-quality service for each member of the family.
Despite being opened only in 2017, our small grassroots shop has already received the recognition of being the “Best Barber” in the Morning Call’s “Readers Choice 2020”.
We will continue to strive for excellence in every service that we provide. This is also our way of paying homage to the men and women who worked at Bethlehem Steel and made the city into what it is today. The name Steel City Beards & Shears stems from our desire to honor them for their sacrifices.

What You Need To Know About Barbershop Franchises
Barbers cut and shave hair with oyster shells and sharpened flint, a practice dating back to 5000 BC. Today, barbering technology has advanced significantly. At its core, barbering is a historic profession.
Right now, owning a barbershop franchise is a great investment.
In terms of male grooming, the twentieth century wasn’t great. Men tended to take a very Spartan approach to grooming, whereas female grooming is as elaborate and important as it is today.
Nowadays, male grooming has developed a much more open approach, and a whopping $56 billion is spent on the industry each year. There is no doubt that barbershop franchises have found their place within the male grooming boom, bringing in around $26 billion in the US each year. In the United States, barbering has become one of the fastest-growing professions.
The popularity of the beard has also increased exponentially in the twentieth century, especially among younger generations. The Hipster generation spends a lot of time grooming and styling their hair and beards.
So, barbershop franchises have made a big resurgence in the US, bringing a new and pleasant twist to the old plain and Spartan barbershops. While local barbershops have traditionally had a feeling of community, many barbershop franchises have started to include a sense of elegance normally reserved for women’s salons.
The business is now acknowledging that males, too, like to be treated. And why would you ever not? We all work hard and deserve a little indulgence.
