When I walked into The Mailroom Barber, I was greeted with the smell of pipe tobacco and pine, and the sounds of psychedelic dirty rock vibrating from an old record player. There is coffee brewing in the morning, and a cold beer waiting for you in the afternoon. Robert Watkins, the owner of The Mailroom Barber Co., has revolutionized what people might think of a typical old barbershop.
Robert was fed up with cheap, mass-produced beard and hair products that didn't work. So he created his own. All products, including pomade, beard oil, lip balm, and even candles are handmade in-house, using only 100% ethically-sourced ingredients and packaging.
The company's entire mission is to create products that give the consumer an ethical option, build awareness, and raise financial support for organizations fighting to end Human Trafficking. They donate to the A21 campaign monthly to support this cause.
