✂️ Joe’s Barbershop – A Legacy Since 1963 ✂️

Skyway Shopping Center, Plattsburgh, NY

It was 1963 when Skyway Shopping Center first opened its doors — and with it, a small barbershop that would become a beloved community landmark. Back then, the shopping center was the talk of the town. Its modern design and convenient location made it the place to be. The barber chairs were brand new, the mirrors sparkled, and haircuts were just a couple of dollars.

“Those were simpler times,” our veteran barbers often say. “Men would come in for their weekly trim, catch up on local news, and walk out looking sharp.”
 

The shopping center may have been smaller then, but the dreams were big. No one could have predicted that this modest barbershop would stand the test of time, becoming one of the most trusted names in local grooming.

Through the bell-bottom era of the '70s and the bold styles of the '80s, Joe’s became more than just a place for haircuts — it became the heart of local connection. Fathers brought their sons in for their first haircut, a tradition that proudly continues to this day.

Our barber chairs have witnessed countless “first haircut” moments — young boys sitting nervously, leaving with proud smiles and newfound confidence. Many of those boys are now grown men who return with children of their own to share the same experience.

The 1990s brought big changes to Skyway Shopping Center. While other businesses came and went, Joe’s Barbershop stood firm — a lighthouse in a sea of change. As chain stores replaced family-owned shops, we stayed focused on what matters most:
Quality, consistency, and genuine connection.

Our loyal customers — from hardworking blue-collar folks to longtime retirees — knew they could count on us. No frills. No gimmicks. Just skilled barbering and the comfort of familiar faces.

As the new millennium arrived, we embraced subtle updates while keeping our classic charm.
Our popular punch card system (10 cuts = 1 free) became a hit, and our personal touch — remembering each client’s preferred style — set us apart.

Young professionals began to discover what their fathers and grandfathers already knew:
There’s something timeless about the traditional barbershop experience.

Today, our clientele spans generations — veterans sharing stories with tech workers, first responders catching up with retirees. And we’re proud to have a 90% customer retention rate that speaks volumes about the trust we've built.

Step into Joe’s Barbershop today and you’ll find the perfect blend of tradition and comfort.
Our Austin Air HEPA purifier keeps the air fresh, while the familiar sound of clippers and conversation fills the room. With six cutting stations and over 40 years of combined experience, our team serves around 35 clients daily — each one treated like family.

We’ve grown with the times — you can now find us on Facebook and LinkedIn, sharing stories and staying connected with the community.

But some things never change:
✔️ Walk-in service
✔️ Friendly faces
✔️ A belief that every haircut is a chance to build a lasting relationship

From our 900 square foot shop in the Skyway Shopping Center, we proudly serve multiple generations of local families. Whether you're visiting for the first time or the hundredth, you’ll experience the same commitment to quality that’s defined us since 1963.
