Sam Mann giving Greg Brown a haircut, Brown's been coming to Mann for 20 years.
FARGO (KVRR/KFGO) – An 86-year-old south Fargo barber is hanging up his clippers after 63 years on the job.
Sam Mann has been cutting hair for more than six decades. He says has no idea how many haircuts he’s given, but says he’s had some well-known customers including former Gov. William Guy and former mayors from Fargo and Moorhead. The number of barbers in the area has been slowly dwindling. He says there were about 43 barbers in Fargo when he moved here in 1961. Today, there are about 14.
“South Plaza Barbers” has been sold and Mann says the new owners plan to keep it open.
Retirement has been on his mind for a while, he says he’s looking forward to retirement and plans to travel and spend more time with his 19 grandchildren.
Mann is originally from Dickinson.
