The Fifth Avenue Barber Shop at 420 N. Fifth Ave. is moving to 506 East Fourth Street and will be renamed Floyd’s Hair Choppers.

Steve “Floyd” Wahl has been at the same location ever since he moved to Duluth 14 years ago from the Twin Cities. Wahl says his new location will be more visible and will have free parking in the back. His new name reflects some of his favorite customers, motorcycle riders. He moved to Duluth because he loves to be around lakes and also to get away from the crime and violence of the Twin Cities.
Wahl said of his shop, “It is the only barbershop that you can pick up a guitar a play.”
Daugherty’s Hardware purchased Wahl’s property.
