In 1962, a small barbershop opened its doors on West Broadway in Gallatin, Tennessee. Sixty-four years later, Plaza Barber Shop is still here, still cutting hair, and still serving the community with the same values it was built on: quality work, fair prices, and genuine hospitality.
The Early Years
When Plaza Barber Shop first opened in 1962, Gallatin was a small Tennessee town where everyone knew their neighbors. The shop quickly became a gathering place — a spot where men and boys came not just for a haircut, but for conversation, community, and a sense of belonging. That atmosphere has never changed.
A Women-Owned Tradition
Today, Plaza Barber Shop is owned and operated by Sue Claridy, making it one of the few women-owned barbershops in the region. Under her leadership, the shop has maintained its commitment to affordability and quality while building a welcoming environment for customers of all ages and backgrounds.
$9 Haircuts: The Best Value in Gallatin
In an era when a basic haircut at a chain salon can cost $20 or more, Plaza Barber Shop has held the line at $9. It is not a gimmick or a loss leader — it is a reflection of our belief that a great haircut should be accessible to everyone. Our barbers take pride in every cut, regardless of the price tag.
Walk-In Only, Always
We have never required appointments, and we do not plan to start. Walk-in service is part of what makes a barbershop a barbershop. You come when it works for you, grab a seat, and we take care of the rest. It is simple, it is respectful of your time, and it works.
Looking Forward
After 64 years, Plaza Barber Shop remains committed to the same principles that have guided us since day one. We are grateful for every customer who has walked through our door, and we look forward to serving Gallatin and the surrounding communities for many more years to come.
