Frizzell “Zeke” Jones established Jokers Barber Shop in 1936. Veteran barber James “Jim” Payne reported that when he began working at the six-chair shop in 1938, haircuts were thirty-five cents and shaves were fifteen cents. The shop, named for the Jokers Social Club, a local men’s club, has been a popular meeting place for African Americans through the years. Other longtime Jokers barbers were James “Hank” Jones, John Daniels, Thomas Martin, Russell Arnette, and Clarence Massie, Jr.
