Shane’s Classic Barber Shop Claimed

Shane Rhodes, Master Barber and Owner of Shane’s Classic Barber Shop, was born in Newport News, Virginia, but was raised in Tennessee when his parents moved to Nashville when he was 18 months old. Shane grew up on the Percy Priest Lake side of Antioch and was in the first class to go all the way through what was then the new Antioch High School. 

Shane moved with his dad to Donelson when he was 18 for a short time before enlisting in the U.S. Army. After his honorable discharge, Shane moved to his dad’s hometown of Lexington, Tennessee. During the next 10 years, Shane was an over-the-road truck driver, but when he was home he always got haircuts at Jerry’s Barber and Style, a small town barber shop. The old-time atmosphere of that barber shop experience became the source of major inspiration to Shane — to switch careers from trucking to barbering.

In 2015, Shane graduated from the Nashville International Barber and Style College, then got his professional start back at Jerry’s, where he spent nearly a year under Jerry’s tutelage before opening his own shop in Henderson, Tennessee, in early 2016.

Shane moved to Nashville in late 2017, and since then became one of Nashville’s favorite barbers in a couple different shops along the way. What makes Shane stand out among other barbers in town is the experience he delivers. It’s more than just a haircut; it’s an engaging conversation, too.

In early 2020, Shane made the decision to pursue his dream of owning his own barber shop again, and thus, Shane’s Classic Barber Shop was born! Shane’s approach is to preserve that old-school atmosphere where a trip to the barber shop is a community-building and bonding experience.

With Shane, you not only get a tremendous haircut, but you make a new buddy. You won’t find a more friendly, conversational barber anywhere else in town, and the overall experience Shane delivers can’t be beat. In an age where the majority of folks are disconnected because of technology, it’s refreshing to have a place to go to like Shane’s Classic Barber Shop to engage in authentic human connection … to slow down for a bit.

A baseball enthusiast, Shane loves spending time with his beautiful wife, Sarah, and their kids, Emma and new baby Paisley.
