New Barbershop Brings Old School Feel

There’s a new barbershop in downtown New Port Richey, and one of its owners touts its “old school” style.  

J & M Barbers opened its doors at 5734 Main St. this past fall. John Torrisi and Moe Moore own the shop. 

The shop barbers know their way around a variety of styles for men and boys, including fades, mohawks, tapers, and dreadlocks. They also know how to tackle pompadours, slick backs and the good ole' hot towel shave, a traditional offering at barbershops.

Torrisi used to own a barbershop at 6139 Ridge Road, Port Richey. Moore said he helped Torrisi open the business and cut hair there. That shop existed for about five years, Moore said.  

Torrisi and Moore moved the shop to the Main Street spot and opened it this past November, Moore said.

Moore, 31, is a Port Richey resident and partner in the relocated business. He also helps cut hair. He trained at the International School of Beauty on U.S. 19.

Moore touted the merits of having a barbershop downtown.

“It’s the historic district of New Port Richey, and I felt that this was the right place for an old school barbershop,” he said.
