Lynne Abbott, left, and her sister, Charlotte Wagoner, gossip in the Lawrenceburg Barber Shop about a boy with a mohawk they saw earlier in the day. "I don't know how he got his hair to stand up like that," Wagoner said. "It was aweful, his hair was a tall as mine is long." "He didn't have to dress up for Halloween," Abbott replied.

Tom Culpepper checks out a copy of "Stuff Magazine" at the Lawrenceburg Barber Shop as Jamie Kinder, left, and Mike Forbes wait for a cut and a shave. Culpepper preferred this particular barbershop because of the atmosphere. ""It feels like a real barbershop,'' he said. ''We could go to Wal-Mart where it's $6, but it ain't the same. People come here whether they need a hair cut or not.''

Jacoby Kinder, 6, protects his eyes from falling hair. According to his father Jamie, Jacoby hates getting a cut because hair irritates his eyes. "It hurts me to watch him get his hair cut," he said. "He's always saying his eyes hurt.''
