George Lyons, (9/14/1922- 7/22/2013) blessed the community of Harlem for the 60 years that he ran his barbershop. He began his career as a saxophonist, playing in Carnegie Hall in the 60’s was an extreme source of pride and glory for George. Shortly after his time as a musician, he opened a barber shop in Harlem on Lenox Avenue near 141st street before moving to his final shop on 101 on 141st Street between Lenox & 7th avenue. His barbershop was a source of life in the community. He provided free haircuts to children and men who could not afford them. He understood the importance of appearance and how it can boost the self esteem of an individual. His barbershop was like a second home for many people, where they could laugh, enjoy life, share experiences, and absorb the effervescent aura of George.
