419 Barbershop Shelby announces upcoming closure
June 30 will be the final day of operations for 419 Barbershop Shelby, the business announced Friday afternoon in a Facebook post.
"We’ve done all we could to sustain the business here, but unfortunately, it’s time for this chapter to come to a close," the announcement said.
The barbershop, at 26 W. Main St., expressed gratitude to clients who “showed us love and called this place home.”
While the Shelby location plans to close, barbers from the shop will continue cutting hair “at new locations that better support their lives and families,” the post said.
The shop’s statement thanked the city of Shelby and everyone who supported it.
Customers were encouraged to stay in touch as the barbers transition to new locations.
The ribbon cutting for 419 Barbershop Shelby was Aug. 9, 2023, and at the time marked the third 419 Barbershop location, joining existing locations in Mansfield and Ashland.

OHIO STATEHOUSE
Rep. John votes in support of the E-Verify Workforce Integrity Act
COLUMBUS — Ohio House Majority Floor Leader Marilyn John (R-Richland County) this week voted in support of the E-Verify Workforce Integrity Act, or H.B. 246, legislation to ensure all workers hired in Ohio for covered construction projects are legally authorized to work in the United States.
“In order to ensure safety and quality for residents of the State of Ohio, the E-Verify program makes certain construction employees are qualified to work on state projects,” John, a former Shelby mayor, said via news release on Friday.
The bill also empowers the attorney general to investigate suspected violations, issue notices of violation, and pursue enforcement through the courts if necessary.
Penalties include fines, disqualification from state contracts for up to two years, and license suspension or revocation, especially when unauthorized workers are knowingly employed.
House Bill 246 now advances to the Ohio Senate for further consideration.
