Master Barber Tino Cobb has opened a barbershop on Lincoln Square. The historic building has held Keith’s Barbershop, Edlin’s Barbershop and Bill Seymour’s Barbershop in the past.

“I was born and raised here and I’ve always seen this building as a barbershop,” Cobb said.
Cobb bought the shop in February from the former owner, Robby Keith, who has been battling cancer.

Cobb has maintained much of the historic look of the shop and is continuing traditional barber services – including an old-fashioned razor shave.
