SPOTLIGHT FEATURED BUSINESS: A1 Barbershop

A1 Barbershop: Our Featured Business

A1 Barbershop: Where Haircuts Meet Heart in Pittsburg

Step into A1 Barbershop on Railroad Avenue in Pittsburg, and you might feel like you've just walked into a family living room where all the aunties, uncles, and big cousins are gathered, having a good time. Except here, you're also getting an excellent haircut.

That welcoming atmosphere is no accident. For Joanna Hernandez and her family, A1 Barbershop is more than a place for tapers, comb-overs, cornrow braids, and clean cuts. It's a community hub built on the belief that looking good helps people do good and feel good.

Your Voice Matters: Antioch Residents to Help Choose Between Two Community Projects
