​One of our newest Members, James' Barber Shop, all began in 1961 when the owner began working as an apprentice. He worked in two shops located in Tennille, GA for other proprietors before opening his own shop in Sandersville, GA in 1973.

James' Barber Shop specializes in basic haircuts, flat tops, and beard and mustache trims!
