About Us

Vintage Hair Gallery was formerly known as the Healey Building Barber Shop. The Healy Building is a historic building located in downtown Atlanta, Georgia. It was built in 1913, and it was the first skyscraper in Georgia after the civil war. The Healey Building Barber Shop was owned and operated by a legendary barber, the late Bill White. Mr. White was a barber for 68 years. He was well received and respected in the community. His clientele base was predominantly professionals. Judges, lawyers, bank presidents, and other high ranking state officials were regulars in the Healey Building Barber Shop. Bill White was passionate about his work. He often joked that he would be shipped straight from his shop to Patterson's Funeral Home. Ironically, there was only one month in between that journey.

Vintage Hair Gallery was born in February 2004. Herbert Williams, a Georgia native is the current owner. He purchased the Healey Building Barber Shop from previous owner Bill White. Herbert Williams had a vision for the historic property. His love for his profession as a barber coupled with his admiration for historic preservation made this business venture one that he could not refuse. Williams kept the shop in its original vintage décor and accents. With minor modern upgrades he has created the best of both time periods. Vintage is eclectic; a modern feel and the vintage look capture the essence of the good old days while providing the modern conveniences of today. By blending the past with the present he provides a unique service experience, an oddity in the industry.

Customer service is the main objective followed by comfort and satisfaction. Williams provides a team of career professionals to the business community in the Farlie-Poplar district of downtown Atlanta. The team’s diverse collection of specializations sets the shop apart from others. Vintage offers classic and trendy hair cuts, razor shaves, loc maintenance, hair removal, eye brow shaping, shoe shining, and massages. You owe it yourself to experience Vintage Hair Gallery, where a seat awaits you.
