Well known Butlerite Lowell Logan had been cutting hair at South Side Barber Shop since 1950; and since his passing this past March, many folks wanted to see this landmark business remain open in his honor.
Local businessman Greg Mullinax is one of those people.
Mullinax recently announced that the Southside Barber Shop is reopening with a complimentary level of the service provided by Lowell Logan for over 60 years in the same location.

In his own words, Mullinax penned this note on Facebook today:
As we look forward to a fun-filled weekend in Butler, I have an announcement which is very special to me personally:
As many know, with the sudden passing of Lowell W. Logan on March 24, our town lost a true pillar and friend to so many. With that, the South Side Barber Shop went dark and remained so through the summer. While Lowell is bitterly missed and can never be replaced, I am pleased to report that haircuts will resume tomorrow at the shop everyone loved for so long.
We will have a soft opening tomorrow from 9-2, with a grand opening announced later. I'll be busy with Huckster's Day of course, so my good friend Cindy Kukovich Billings will be behind the chair. With 19 years of experience, Cindy is highly capable of any hair style or need! Cindy will continue in the shop on a daily basis, and as soon as my license becomes active, I'll be joining her in the 2nd chair as my time allows.
Stop by and say hello tomorrow. We've created a vintage, classy shop we think you will enjoy - while still reminiscent of the South Side everyone remembers and loves.
Finally, you know that my staff and I will continue to remain dedicated to you and your family at Mullinax Funeral Homes; our commitment will never change. I am excited, though, to bring another quality business back to service in Butler.
Hats off and salutations to Greg Mullinax for continuing the tradition of good fellowship and a great place to get a dandy cut!
