Have You Heard? Ever wonder where the great barbers in the area get their skills? Until now, prospective barbers had to travel for miles to learn their craft. Soon, those days will be gone.

Revel gave recently Main Street Fairmont a sneak peek of the ongoing renovations. The new barber school is scheduled for opening mid-summer!
