Mullen Barber Shop
2417 W. College St., Springfield, MO
Phone:
This tiny building on west College Street has been home to a barbershop
since 1948. Milfred Mullen owned and operated the barbershop until he
retired. His son Don continued barbering at the shop for a short time
until 2011 when he started to consider his retirement and rented the barber
shop to Grant Kendall., a young barber who moved from St. Louis to take
advantage of the opportunity. He bought the property in 2014 and operates
the shop as the Route 66 Barbershop. The Melinda
Court motel is just across the street.
Mural
for the Route 66 Barber Shop. The banner at the bottom says "Oldest
Barber Shop in Springfield". This very cool mural appeared on the
side of the barber shop sometime in the year between the two photos
on this page, 2016 top, 2017 bottom.
