When Jeannie Granberry assumed ownership of Dickey’s Old Time Barber Shop in 2000, she made it a point to uphold the family atmosphere and customer service her stepfather Maurice Dickey first created 14 years before.
For nearly 30 years, the Sugar Land barbershop has serviced generations of families and has also attracted new customers by offering the same services it offered in 1986.
“A barbershop is nothing but a building,” Granberry said. “It is nothing without the customers [who] keep coming back month after month and year after year.”
Granberry, also known as Mama to her clients, began as a barber at Dickey’s Old Time Barber Shop in 1988. Granberry said she addresses each client on a first-name basis and has accumulated hundreds of family photos for a collage on the walls inside the barbershop to pay homage to the relationships she has developed over the last three decades.
