FREWSBURG – The Frewsburger restaurant has a new “Frews-neighbor.”

Located at Main and Water streets, the Frewsbarber shop is officially open for business from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to noon Saturdays. Appointments are available and walk-ins are welcomed.

The trio of barbers, Nickolas Faiella, Curt Meekins and Gabrielle Harrier were all previously co-workers at the Clip Joint Barbershop, which was previously located at 177 Fluvanna Ave. when it unexpectedly was sold and closed by the owner. However, business partners Faiella and Harrier decided to open their own shop, and partnered with Meekins to create an old-school, classical barbershop in the heart of Frewsburg.

“Our old shop we all worked at the Clip Joint’s owner decided to sell the building,” said Faiella. “We love our new location here. Frewsburg is an awesome location, and the people are amazing. Our client base had no problem following us here and we couldn’t be happier.”

Harrier talked about the good vibes the three barbers have as part of the reason she decided to engage in this new, joint, business venture.

“Nick and I work really well together, and our ideas meshed well,” she said. “Same with Curt; down to the decorations, we are just kind of on the same page and we vibe well together.”

The Frewsbarber blends an old antique style of decorum with a modern, hip vibe.

“My lizard is running around here somewhere,” laughed Faiella. “A lot of the artwork on the walls to some of the antique barber equipment on display gives the shop that old-school vibe. Yet, I have my modern large fish tank in here with vibrant and colorful fish. In the back, I have a homemade, handcrafting, violin shop.”

Some Carroll officials are more than happy to welcome the new business to the hamlet.

“It’s always nice to see new businesses opening shops in the center of town,” said John Barber, who ironically doesn’t work at the barbershop, but is a Town of Carroll board member. “This is a good sign.”
