The Philippi Convention and Tourist Bureau recently presented a framed Philippi Covered Bridge print to the owner of Cold Cuts Barbershop, Caden Price, as part of its ongoing tradition of welcoming new enterprises to Philippi’s business community.
Price is a recent graduate of Morgantown’s Sharp as an Errol Barber School. Price learnt clipper and shear cuts, shaving, and face trimming, in addition to the business and professionally connected with barbering, while enrolled in the barbering school.
Prior to attending barber school, Price spent two years at the Fred Eberle Technical Institute in Buckhannon studying cosmetology. Price stated that he chose to start his barber shop in Philippi after realizing that the town had been without a barber shop for many years, and he wanted to assist the community meet this need. When customers are in the barber chair, the new barber says he learns a great deal about his customers and the neighborhood. Frequently, customers visit the store for no other reason.
The new barbershop offers creative cuts, straight razor shaves, and standard cuts. Although the majority of Price’s clientele are male, he also offers feminine cuts. All of his clients are walk-ins since he does not accept appointments.
Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; Thursdays from 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.; and Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The store is located at 21 Mill Street in the huge gray building directly across Sheetz. The classic barber pole is prominently displayed at both the front and back doors.
Since welcome events began in 2021, Cool Cuts Barbershop is the twentieth new business that the CVB has met. The framed Covered Bridge image is presented to the firm as a token of appreciation for choosing Philippi as its new site.
According to West Virginia law and the Philippi City Charter, the primary mission of the Philippi Convention and Visitors Bureau is to improve the economic climate of Philippi via the development and promotion of tourism resources and conference attractions.
