Steptoe Barber Shop was a Black-owned, family-run business in New Market. It was started by Steptoe Sr in 1921 and continued to serve the community for 93 years, closing its doors in May 2014. Steptoe Barber Shop was opened for clients, black and white, six days a week beginning at 8 AM. The well-known barber of the shop was James Steptoe Jr, who started working at a young age. The US Army veteran cut hair for over 70 years until the shop’s closing. The Steptoe name and legacy will not be forgotten by those who routinely came in to get their hair cut at the Steptoe Barber Shop.
