Wess Hebron and his Barber Shop

Title

Wess Hebron and his Barber Shop

Description

Black and white image of a man sitting outside of a small, highly decorated barbershop set between two houses. A bench reading 'Welcome' sits in front of the shop, while signs reading 'Hairstyling' and 'Tonsorial - not another barber but THEE BARBER' decorate the roof along with a neon sign surrounding a clock. Opened on SW Baseline in 1960 by proprietor Wess Hebron, Wess's Barber Shop was a familiar landmark for many years in Hillsboro. See WCMpic_013808, WCMpic_013809, and WCMpic_013817 for other images of the exterior of this shop, and WCMpic_013810, WCMpic_013811, and WCMpic_013812 for views of the interior.
