One of the most famous barbershops ever -- this is where Elvis Presley received his much publicized GI haircut in 1957 when he entered the Army. The facility contains a replicated barbershop restored with items authentic to the period, from bathroom fixtures to the barber pole. The barbershop takes up the front portion of the building and includes a life-size cutout of Presley in his uniform in the barber chair. The back portion of the building contains some Elvis memorabilia, such as the script from the “King Creole” movie he finished filming the day before he was inducted, and original photos.
Directions: Building 803, Terry Road
