About Gordons' Historic Barbershop
Gordon's Historic Barbershop was established in 1935 and holds the distinction of being the oldest barbershop in Charlotte, North Carolina, having operated in the city's historic Cherry neighborhood for nearly 90 years. Located at 601 Baldwin Ave, the shop has outlasted generations of change in the surrounding city while maintaining its original identity as a neighborhood institution built on consistency and craft. The shop's philosophy centers on steady, deliberate work rather than rushed service, describing itself as "a place where people come not just to look their best, but to feel grounded in something steady." That sense of continuity is delivered through the hands of four master barbers, each known for a distinct style and personality: Mr. Smalls, known as "The Mad Scientist"; Mr. McGinn, known as "Pete" or "Uncle Pete"; Mr. Sharp, known as "The Boujie Barber"; and Damu Gordon, referred to as the shop's "Celebrity Barber." Together they bring decades of combined experience and a shared commitment to quality, intentional craftsmanship to every cut. Clients can book appointments through the shop's Booksy platform, and can reach the barbershop directly at (704) 358-4648. As Charlotte has developed rapidly around it, Gordon's Historic Barbershop has positioned itself as a grounding presence in the Cherry neighborhood, a place where near-century-old traditions of barbering are preserved alongside modern booking convenience, giving longtime residents and newcomers alike a connection to the city's history with every visit.
