Beggs Barbershop

2625 S. Sixth St., 525-1244

Dave Beggs and Phil Tackett are the men of Beggs Barbershop. And they are men’s men – ready with a quip and a smirk. “Dave always remembers your name … or at least he pretends to!” writes one patron. “Real guys,” “Dave rocks,” “Dave Beggs is the king!” are a few other comments. The barber snipping away on a client’s cut with an enormous big-screen TV in sight, the atmosphere at Beggs seems like home away from home for the four to six men who come through in what seems like a breeze. Beggs is busy. He half-jokes and says it like it is. “I’ve got good customers. If we don’t get along, they don’t come back.” Many have been coming back for years. Barbering is in owner Dave Beggs’ blood. His dad, Bill, started the business in the ’50s. Beggs says he “grew up in the barbershop” with his dad, then attended National Barber College. His passion still drives him every day.
