Are you an Elvis fan? Who isn’t, right? Elvis left this earth on August 16, 1977 when many of us were still wearing diapers, or riding skateboards, or just finishing high school. Others weren’t fortunate enough to be born by that year and therefore never got the pleasure to walk this earth with The King.
Regardless of your level of adoration for The King, you simply have to make it a point to visit the Beale Street Barber Shop in Wilmington whenever you’re in the area.

Practically every inch of the space here is filled with Elvis memorabilia. There are Elvis figurines, Elvis sculptures, an actual Elvis costume, scores of Elvis portraits painted on (what else?) black velvet (is there any other medium befitting of The King?), and oh-so much more.

Because Beale Street Barber Shop is a small business, please book an appointment to spend any time gawking over the Elvis items here. This one-man barber shop prides itself on giving every customer one-on-one attention during the cutting and styling process.
