Two Bartlett barbers who have worked together for more than a decade have opened their own shop a short distance from their former employer.

Lee Meeks and Mike Miskelly officially opened The Barber Shop at 2880 Whitten Road in Bartlett on Sept. 2. Both formerly worked at the Stage Road Barber Shop located just a block away.

“We’re kind of tucked away, a little hidden,” Meeks said about their location just off Stage Road.
