BOONEVILLE ⢠Since first opening its doors nearly 17 years ago, Robert Jacksonâs barbershop, Bo-Leeâs Styles & Cuts, has never been quieter.
Before COVID-19, Jackson, known to most as Bobby or Bo-Lee, would see people come in the shop just to hang out and crack jokes. Now, they canât come in more than one or two at a time.
âThis was originally a place of camaraderie, where people can come and express their feelings and emotions and laugh and talk,â Jackson said. âIt totally destroyed that fellowship that most barbershops and salons experience.â
