Clarksdale, Mississippi – Toney’s Barbershop has been a cornerstone of community camaraderie and personal transformation since its inception in 1996. Located at 626 Evelyn Avenue, this beloved establishment, led by its founder Toney, has grown from a humble beginning into a thriving hub of creativity, connection, and care.

One of its most cherished traditions is the annual back-to-school giveaway, providing free haircuts and supplies to students to prepare them for a successful academic year. Most recently, the barbershop hosted a Thanksgiving giveaway, further underscoring its dedication to supporting the community during times of need.
Beyond these events, Toney’s Barbershop has also hosted workshops on grooming and self-care, emphasizing the importance of personal empowerment and self-respect. These efforts, rooted in a desire to uplift and inspire, reflect Toney’s deep commitment to nurturing the community that nurtured his dreams.
The journey of Toney’s Barbershop has been one of mutual growth and gratitude. Toney is profoundly thankful for the unwavering support and loyalty of his patrons, who have made the barbershop a cherished part of Clarksdale’s fabric.
