The Old Mission Barbershop, located at 21st and Mission streets, will close at the end of the month due to owner Omar Nazzal's health issues related to asthma. Nazzal has deep roots in the Mission, having grown up in the Sunset District and connected to family businesses that served the local Hispanic community. After a decade in the automotive industry and inspired by his father's advice, Nazzal opened his barbershop in 2018, focusing on affordability and welcoming everyone in the changing neighborhood.
Nazzal sought to create a welcoming barbershop environment that catered to the working class while preserving the unique character of the Mission neighborhood.
The Old Mission Barbershop, opened by Omar Nazzal in 2018, pays homage to his family's roots and aims to serve an affordable price point.
With deep ties to the Mission community and personal history in the area, Nazzal's barbershop reflected cultural transitions and economic dynamics.
Nazzal transitioned from the automotive industry to barbering at 29, driven by a desire to serve his local community and create a space for neighborly connection.
