SERVING SOUTHERN ILLINOIS SINCE 2016.
Located several miles off the beaten path in rural Franklin County, the business represents an unusual marriage between a shooting park and a barber shop. Ray and Stacy Minor, co-owners and husband and wife, opened the business at 9911 River Bend Road in late 2016. It’s been growing every year since. Our barbershop provides more than just barber services, our shop offers old school long lost true service, expertise, tools, guidance, and a place to gather, relax, enjoy comradeship, a place to feel welcome.
RAY MINOR
OWNER/BARBER
Ray was born and raised in Southern Illinois and is a retired M/Sgt. with the Illinois State Police. Since Ray's retirement he felt the need to continue to serve. Growing up Ray remembers hanging out in his grandfather's barbershop in Benton, IL. Through the years, Ray has seen the decline in Barber Shops and desires to bring back that old school barbershop feel that he remembers. Ray feels men need a place to go, between work and home to be a guy that is not a bar. Ray hopes the Armed Barber Shop will provide that place.
ISAIAH EDGELL
BARBER
A Southern Illinois native, Isaiah enjoys woodworking and outdoor activities. After deciding to visit a more traditional barbershop on his own, he realized that he enjoyed the atmosphere and conversations that took place and thought he would like to pursue that as a career. Isaiah wants to have a place for men to go and hang out, while providing them a great service.
