We Accept Walk-Ins Only | Nominated for Business of the Year from the Kennesaw Business Association from 2012 to 2015

About Us

We would like to take a moment to welcome you to Big Shanty Barber Shop. Thanks for stopping by to learn a little more about us. We provide men's haircuts and shaves, performed by experienced and licensed barbers. Our shop is located in the historic downtown Kennesaw, Georgia, just minutes away from Acworth, the Kennesaw State University campus, and the Marietta Square.

Nestled in this friendly neighborhood, we're Kennesaw's oldest and premier barber shop. It was established in 1998 by Shannan Smith Sikorski, building the business with customer service and affordable pricing as the foundation.

Over 15 Years in Business

In the time that we have been in business, Big Shanty Barber Shop has grown into a pillar of the community. We pride ourselves on our involvement in the Kennesaw community through volunteering, participating in sponsorship programs, and being active members of local business associations, such as the Cobb Chamber. We have even been nominated for Business of the Year in both 2010 and 2011 by the Kennesaw Business Association.

When you stop by, be sure to ask us about our customer loyalty reward card. If you buy ten haircuts, you get one free. Also, we are proud to honor military, law, and firefighter discounts as our way of saying thank you for your service. Each and every Wednesday we have our Senior Citizens Day where all haircuts are only $10.00. The last thing to remember is that an appointment is never needed. Walk-ins are always welcome.
