26 years ago, the discovery of a handsome back bar from an old barbershop in Yazoo City sparked a dream. Steve Scott was set to open his new men’s clothing store, Great Scott, in Jackson. He hoped that one day he would use the antique piece in his own Great Scott Barbershop.

In September 2013, Steve’s barbershop plans became a reality. With one visit to Great Scott, gentlemen can become more aware of the benefits of proper grooming and dressing. Scott’s son Wright says of the new barbershop, “We want to provide a relaxing experience in a masculine setting. We were inspired by the barbershops we had seen throughout the country that we felt Jackson would embrace.”

Special details came together to create their oasis. Scott and his son Wright stumbled upon an antique red and white barber pole at market in New York City. Black Great Scott coffee mugs are filled with hot water to dip their badger hair brushes for shaves. And customers cannot miss the original “It pays to look well” stickers emblazoned on the mirrors along the back bar. They also recruited a friend who designs and builds custom cabinetry to create a partition separating the clothing store and the barbershop, which houses shaving, hair and body products.

Shortly after its conception, Nic Puckett, a third generation barber, began working inside the Great Scott Barbershop. “What drew me to the barbershop was its quaint feel, and the simplicity of the cut and shave…women have high end salons and spas all across the Jackson metro area, but we wanted to create an atmosphere of a near spa-like, high-end grooming experience for men, “ says Nic. “The experience we provide is masculine yet relaxing, and simple yet therapeutic.”

The barbershop is truly an escape from the busy Jackson streets. Men can get a haircut, recline and relax, and experience a hot towel shave with a straight razor. By bringing this traditional barbershop back to Jackson, Nic says it “allows fathers and sons a place to get groomed together and make memories. We offer haircuts and shaves, and have a father-son package as well as a cut and shave packing, which I would recommend any man try.”

Great Scott is known for their fine gentlemen’s clothing, but maintains wonderful relationships thanks to their impeccable customer service. Wright says, “Customer service is what being in business is all about. We want our customers to know that the barbershop experience is no different than what our customers have come to expect from Great Scott. Looking good is looking good. Whether you come in to be groomed, dressed, or both, our mission is to make you feel good about it, and we will bend over backwards to provide the best experience in the process.”
