The Stadler Line
Since Maple Avenue.
A family that has handed down the clippers, the razor and a little wooden race car, one generation to the next. Alex Stadler puts the family's combined barbering at closing in on 100 years.
Age 19
Art picks up the clippers
Art Stadler's own barber told him to get his license and come to work. He did, and later earned his license to teach barbering too.
1978
1919 Maple Ave
Art moves into a little 1925 barbershop building on Maple Avenue. In time it gets a wooden race car for the kids, and Art and John make house calls for disabled customers at no extra charge.
Generation two
John takes the chair
John learns the trade beside his dad, graduates barber school and goes on to open his own shop. More than 30 years behind the chair and counting.

Today
78 W Honey Creek Pkwy
A big, bright shop by Honey Creek Mall, with a free lot out front, vintage chairs, antique razors and the race car still parked by the kids' corner.
Generation three
The next generation
John's son Austin has been cutting alongside his dad for about ten years. Grandfather and father built it, and the third generation is already behind the chair.
