Owner: Calvin Coolidge Blair
In the early 1960s Calvin enrolled in Barber School in Winston-Salem. This training was supported by the Veterans Administration. During his barber profession, Calvin worked in Winston-Salem, Toast, Pilot Mountain and Mount Airy. In 1967 Calvin decided to open his own business and so Blair’s Barber Shop was established. The shop was built adjacent to their home on East Oak Street. Calvin loved his one-chair barber business and looked forward to serving his community in his little haven he called “home”. It was ideal for him as he loved to see his patrons come visit and chat with him throughout the day. Calvin was a skilled barber and made sure his customers looked their best when they left his shop. He was also a great businessman and kept his shop exceptionally clean and appealing. He managed his resources meticulously and always ensured his bills were paid before the due date.
