Floyd's Mayberry Barber Shop — Local services in Mount Airy

I want to thank Floyd’s City Barbershop for their many decades of service to Mount Airy and for being such a special part of Mayberry history. A big thank you also to Bill Hiatt for carrying on his father Russell Hiatt’s legacy and keeping the doors open all those years so fans from around the world could experience the magic of Floyd’s.

While the original Floyd’s is now closed and a re-creation of the show Floyd’s is reopening in its place, the original barber chairs that Andy Griffith sat in, along with other memorabilia, are now located at my shop—Justin’s Barbershop in Smiths Station, Alabama. I count it a blessing to safeguard these historic pieces and share them with the community so that the Mayberry legacy Russell created in his shop continues to live on.

Floyd’s ( Russell Hiatt’s and Bill Hiatt’s legacy) will always be remembered as a landmark of smiles, memories, and tradition, and I am grateful for the many years the relics of the original Floyd’s and atmosphere that was created brought joy to those...

Experience of a lifetime! Jeff gave me a trim, while Bill (son of the original owner of Floyd's) gave me some insights as to the history of the shop, and how it was the basis of Floyd's Barbershop in the Andy Griffith Show.

When my haircut was done, Bill invited me to set in the barber chair his Dad used to use, which also was the chair Andy got his haircut in in real life.

If you look at the picture of Bills Dad, he looks alot like what Floyd looked like in the tv show!!

Even if you don't need a haircut, stop in and sit a spell.... (tell em Bob from Kansas City...

I was a bit nervous stepping in with a group of 9 people... The sign on the door said that the public was welcome so I was curious.

It was a really cool way to step into the past into the real Floyd's Barber Shop. Get a haircut or just listen to the cool stories about Andy Griffith's visits... I bought a mug and was really grateful for the friendliness of the barber that spoke with us. Even got a picture in the chair that Andy Griffith got his last haircut in. That was pretty cool!

Hope you enjoy my review! I hope it is helpful to...
