History
Luke Will and Marcus Amos had dreamed for years of starting their own barbershop. After spending two months and more than $10,000 of their savings to renovate a storefront on South Eighth Street, those dreams became a reality with the opening of the Elm Barber Shop. The co-owners of the shop at 1612 S. Eighth St. worked together at Suave Barber Shops on Academy Boulevard and found their opportunity this summer when Amos saw the vacant space in a small strip shopping center. Will, 29, had wanted to own a shop since completing barber school 10 years ago, while Amos, 33, had the dream of owning his own barber business since leaving the Air Force in 2009.
