Barber Larry Cook remembers the bouffant and pixie cuts of the ’50s. He remembers watching hair grow steadily longer and culminate into the “hippier” vibe of the late ’60s and ’70s – even going so far as to tell a fellow hairstylist to leave the shop if he didn’t want to learn the trend.
“I knew it wasn’t going anywhere, even back then,” Cook reminisced in the Lee Highway Barber and Style Shop he helped build from the ground-up in the 1980s.
Cook recently celebrated 60 years as a barber, and he has no plans to stop.
He no longer owns the Lee Highway shop, but he still works each Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, making the commute from the Bradley County land he and his wife purchased years ago.
