Barbershop

The World's Largest Rooftop Barber Pole

We would climb rooftops for you — just like we work to make your haircut right. Our story goes back to 1936.

A Legacy Since 1936

In 1936, Benny Schmalzbauer started cutting hair in Downtown White Bear Lake. When he tried to file for a license in 1945, the city official said: "All the barbers in town have petitioned us not to allow another barbershop to open up in town."

Today there are no barbershops of that era in existence in White Bear Lake except for Benny's Barbershop. In memory and to honor these historical businesses, we have designed the world's largest rooftop barber pole mural.
