Avon Barber Shop takes pride in community, and that is one of the reasons Dave opened his Barber Shop here. Avon Indiana is a great community, but was lacking a Barber Shop that took pride in being a part of that community, and getting to know the Amazing poeple who live here.
Dave says that the "ART" of Barbering is a dying breed in a lot of places, but he refuses to let that go.
"It's more than just a haircut to people," he says. It's a way of taking pride in their appearance and leaving them with an unforgettable feeling that they can't get doing it themselves.

The Owner, Dave Collins, has been a barber for 20 years. "When I was about 14 years old, I cut my friend's hair every weekend just playing around with the clippers. Then one day I had the idea to make it official."

Now the owner of two barber shops and a barber school, Dave's success has happened because of his strong work ethic and dedication to each and every customer's satisfaction. He says, "I refused to just open another BARBER SHOP". I wanted our customers to "EXPERIENCE THE DIFFERENCE". I want to be able to provide a service that seems to be a dying breed these days, to an area that is without that. He says, "A thing of the past is definitely the straight razor face shave - hot steam towel, hot lather, lay back in the chair just like grandpa used to get. The stuff you see in western movies now, or something outdated. We still offer that. It is an old-fashioned procedure that we've carried on into the modern world."
We wanted to know why is that something so difficult to find anymore - why has it disappeared? "The reason it is dying off over time has been the price. It takes a long time to do a full-service straight razor shave. Many barbers feel like they don't have that time. We think it should be something that is in the barbering world, and we are going to keep it.”
