Baytown has a lot of historical places that have been there for a long time. One of them is the Trophy Barber shop. So William T. J. Realty went there for a visit as your real estate agent in Baytown, to interview Chris Roux of the Trophy Barbershop. Here’s what Chris had to say.
What's the trophy barber shop about?
” The Trophy Barbershop was open in 1962 by Jimmy Carpenter the barber. He lived 2 doors down in a shop called Jimmy’s Barbershop. He hunted so much that his animals took up his entire garage and house. His wife said, “you got to move all of these trophies out”. The building that the shops in right now use to be an insurance building. It went out of business in 1961. He buys this building and puts all his animals and 8 barber chairs in here and opens the Trophy barbershop. That’s what you look at today, a shop filled with everything that Jimmy Carpenter hunted and killed from about 1948 to 1974.
Where is the Trophy barbershop located?
We’re at 103 East Texas avenue in Baytown Texas.
How is the Trophy Barbershop involved in the community?
A High school called Baytown Christian academy came in and they need it donations for their Denim and Diamonds program. We donated a year’s worth of haircuts and shaves which covers roughly $780 worth of cuts. We also sponsor baseball and football programs throughout the year when asked.
What separates the Trophy Barbershop from the other barbershops?
Other than the trophies, the fact that we do no apartments. We’re all walk-ins from the time we open at 8 a.m. to the time we close. We get too busy to separate our time in 30-minute increments for appointments. You never know when somebody is going to come in, and when they come in they need a haircut and a shave.
How can someone get in contact with the Trophy Barbershop?
Our landline is (281) 427-1187. They can also reach us by Facebook at the Trophy Barbershop Facebook page. Also Trophybarbershop.com so there are several ways to get in touch with us
