The Stache Spot is more than just a barbershop.

While the front is home to an assortment of mirrors and classic black barber chairs, as you continue to walk through the building, you’ll learn there’s more to it. In the next room, local goods like honey and woodwork overflow, with curated artwork hanging along the walls.

The business offers traditional men’s barber services and esthetician appointments, but it is also a hub for local goods and artwork. The Stache Spot is inspired by a traditional small-town barbershop, meant to be a meeting place for the community to buy and sell goods.

“For me, not so much in Colorado Springs, but more in rural towns, the barber shop is the apex of the town. A lot of people sell stuff through their barbershop,” said owner Anne Frazier, who’s been a barber for 13 years. “They take it to the barbershop because that’s where everybody goes, so it kind of spawned off that.”

The shop opened last year. Frazier likes the idea that it provides a brick-and-mortar location to local artists without expensive startup fees, she said. Whether people are coming in for a trim or just interested in seeing what’s for sale, she believes it’s catching on.

“Just like having some community is good, you know? Regardless of what it is, just something that everybody can be a part of,” she said. “It feels something else. I love being a barber, but I worked retail prior to being a barber, and so I know those two things.”

One of the goods that sells pretty well: honey. Why? “People love honey,” Frazier said.

There’s also an emphasis on artwork, with the business participating in Old Colorado City’s First Friday Artwalk. The shop is currently showcasing the work of local artist Ric Bascobert.

As for future plans, Frazier hopes to bring in more vendors.

“I would like to get more vendors in, so I’d definitely like to fill up this space a little more, get some more artwork on the walls, and I have another barber station I’m adding in,” she said.
