A new high-end barbershop celebrated a grand opening on Friday at Sylvan Corners in Citrus Heights.
Pressure Barbering Company and Salon held a grand opening celebration and ribbon cutting on Friday, June 6, in Citrus Heights, complete with music, 50 percent off haircuts, and kids’ activities, including a bounce house.
The barbershop specializes in luxury grooming needs and custom haircuts, according to the shop’s online profiles. The shop’s owner, Nyeron Jefferson, said he has been open officially since April 2 and that the grand opening celebration on Friday was “awesome.”
Jefferson said he previously worked for another shop before deciding to open up his own business, and that he has drawn many of his previous clients to the new barbershop through using an online booking service. Jefferson also confirmed that stylists maintaining their own bookings through online booking services has been an ongoing trend and that all of the hairstylists working for his company also bring in clients through booking service platforms.
“I envisioned something dope when I was inside those walls,” Jefferson wrote on Instagram in May, adding that he worked seven days a week for nearly a year to accomplish opening his own shop.
The interior of the new barbershop has several stations, each with gold and black salon chairs, and in place of standard shelving for salon products and tools, each station has a multi-tiered black and silver tool bench where stylists store their supplies. The waiting area boasts several black armed chairs, a bench, and a brick fireplace with a flatscreen TV atop the mantel.
“I made this IG so that my kids could look back and see what their father created and see the steps I took and use it as inspiration to do what comes natural to them,” Jefferson wrote on the company’s Instagram while promoting the upcoming grand opening.
The barbershop offers student discounts, senior discounts, craft cuts, shaves, fades, and tapers, and emphasizes “upscale atmosphere, exceptional service.”
Pressure Barbering Company and Salon is located at 7034 Sylvan Rd., in the same parking lot as Wonderful Chinese. Hours online are listed as 9 a.m. to 6p.m. Tuesday through Thursday and 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
