Story and photo by Joanne A Calitri:
Richies Barber Shop on Coast Village Road is having its 11th Annual Holiday Donation Drive, this year for St. Vincent's Santa Barbara and Adam's Angels.
The Shop's event chair and lead barber Jessica Jay is coordinating with Regina Ruiz, Chief Development Officer of St. Vincent's Santa Barbara, and with Adam McKaig, who formed Adam's Angels to bring meaningful volunteer work around town for the past few years. St. Vincent's is asking for donations of new toys (unwrapped) and gift cards, which will be given to those in their programs, especially single moms. Adam's Angels is asking for donations of new or lightly used warm weather clothing for those in need. "We will be giving out warm clothes at our Christmas meal at the Veterans Memorial Building on the 25th. All donations and volunteers welcome," McKaig said.
Everyone who makes a donation can pick an ornament from the Barber Shop Holiday Tree, which may have a secret surprise, like a complimentary haircut, candy bar, or a big shop THANK YOU shout out from the team.
Shop owner Richie added, "The holiday season is the spirit of happiness, love, and laughter among family, friends, and our community. We hope everyone will come out and support our two drives. Every donation, no matter how big or how small, will make a huge impact and create a smile for someone in need. From my team to all of you, Happy Holidays!"
411: Richie's Barber Shop, 1187 Coast Village Road

We are truly honored to have won Best Barbershop 8 years in a row!!!!

“Santa Barbara is the best place to have a business because the weather off the coast is one in a million, and so is the community. Operating a small business has been challenging the past few years, and somehow we’ve managed to stay in the game; ultimately, we owe it to our locals who continuously believe in us and help us thrive. It’s been 12 years in Montecito, 4 years in Isla Vista, and we couldn’t have done it without the SB community that is so tight. We appreciate everyone who voted for us and continues to support us through and through.” Richie The Barber
