Welcome to the Official
Web Site of
King Barber of Richardson,
Texas
.
| We wish to thank all the friendly folks who
patronized our humble barber shop over the past five years. It has been
our privilege to serve each and every one, as well as our joy and honour.
Having retired once already and discovering that an idle retirement is
not a fun retirement, I was fortunate to discover that satisfaction comes
from service to others, especially when that service is performed in a
quality (conforming to established requirements) manner.
Sadly, circumstances have led me to close my shop. My lease expires on May 15, 2010, the monthly expense to house my fragrant products and solitary tonsorial efforts is considerable. Also, I have discovered a greater lack of talented and licensed barbers who also can rightly claim the virtue of sobriety. While I can help people relsolve many difficult issues, I confess I know nothing about the alcoholism or drug addictions that seem to plague so many unfortunates. So, my last day of tonsorial service was Saturday, May 1. I will spend the last two weeks putting things into storage, offering a few items to souvenier collectors, and looking for another place to offer gentleman's shaves and haircuts. Regardless of where I ultimately find myself, I will continue to press the Texas barber regulators to tighten up their sanitation requirements, particularly those relating to the sharing of blood-contaminated razor blades between hepatitis-infected people and you (yes, I'm against it, as are the Federal OSHA regulatiions, and many other medical authorities -- but not ours in Texas). I expect to have a better idea of where I'll
be towards the end of May, and will post my destination on this webpage.
I will also inform anyone who sends an email to me at
That's about it for now; I wish everyone well, and hope that in my temporary absence you will have the good fortune to enjoy the services of a barber who will not only be licensed, but meticulous enough not to require your reminders for him to wash his hands, use clean tools, and change out the disposable blade in his neck razor. If the "Luck-Planes" are not tilted in that direction, bear in mind that, like General MacArthur, I shall return. Best Wishes,
|

- Our condolances and prayers go to the family and friends of everyone's favorite barber, Ray Medina. We will miss him greatly; we will miss his barbering talents as well. It was largely due to his talent, charm, and ready wit that made KingBarber a favorite tonsorial destination for area residents. He had been fighting a gastrointestinal stromal tumor for a few years, but he passed away on December 13, 2009. After the doctors performed surgery twice and prescribed all the medications they could, the tumor returned. He consulted the experts at MD Anderson hospital in Houston, but the experimental medication they offered still couldn't cure his condition.
Ray's obituary is available at www.mulkeymason.com/index.cfm by typing "Ramon Medina" in the search field. You may add your rememberances and condolances there as well.
