Fairbrook Barber Shop

Hey if you stop by the old shop I’m no longer there! I’m at Hair Connection down in Conover now. If you ask about me at the old shop the barber there won’t tell you where I went oddly. So come on down to Hair Connection! I’ll see you there!

Well your favorite barber made both the Newton Observer and Hickory Daily Record! Here’s the Observer post of yours truly! You can save your slow news day jokes cause apparently I am at least a high B list celebrity in the greater Settlemyre Bridge Road area of Newton NC!

There’s a new barber in town | The Observer News Enterprise Harvey Settlemyre knew at an early age that he wanted to be a barber. Born and raised in Newton, he admired the local barbers he knew.

That hair of yours ain't gonna cut itself you know!

We're open tomorrow! Get that mop cut for gods sake!

We're not fancy. We're not Super Cuts, or some other big chain shop.

Fairbrook is as old school, original, know your barber for years as it gets! I've been cutting some folks hair since they were kids. I've seen them grow up, move away, move back, and then cut their kids hair.

Fairbrook is a throwback to the days when a man sat down in my chair, got a cut, a straight razor shave round the neck and ears, dusted off, and I sent them on their way looking sharp and ready to conquer the world!

The traditional barber is a dying art form. A craft that has slowly faded as folks get more fancy, fast paced, and in a hurry. That's ok by me though! I just keep doin what I do.

I know I can offer something you won't find over at Supercuts. A relationship with not only your Barber but with a long held tradition and a shared experience with men who know that feeling that only a fresh hair cut can convey. Better than a crisp new shirt or a new pair of shoes, a fresh haircut is personal. It tells the world that you care about yourself and take pride in what you're selling to the world. You!

I don't care whether your hair is long or short. The nuance of a well manicured man is pride and a sense of self worth.

A real Barber Shop connects one to the tradition of a man wanting to put his best self forward to the world.

Since 1962 I've been sending men off to life's challenges with a fresh haircut. To proms, to college, to job interviews, to big dates, to their weddings, and off to war.

And like I said, it just don't get no more old school than that. I sell confidence that you can go out and shake up the world if you have a mind to with each and every haircut.

So whenever you're ready, come on in and have a seat in my chair. You'll leave with a sharp haircut and just maybe a new found sense of purpose. Because you can never underestimate the motivational power of a fresh haircut!

Hope to see you soon. Harvey
