In Pine Hills, Florida, what
happens after midnight at the Super Fades barbershop? No one becomes a pumpkin. No one apparently gets a fade, either. Or
even a super fade. They get
diggidety. They get down.

The stripper pole in the middle
of a barber shop should have given it away.
I’ve been to a lot of barber shops.
A few less since I started shaving my head a few years ago as male
pattern baldness set in, I admit. So, I’m
not the most current source. I also don’t
live in Florida. Not yet, anyway, though
there is always time. But every barber
shop I’ve been in, the pole spins. No
one spins around the pole. No one naked
at least. I’ve actually never seen
anyone naked in a barber shop, either, though that’s a different story that
might involve some liquor. Which,
apparently you could get for $20 at Super Fades after midnight on the weekend,
too. But you couldn’t get a fade.
The Orange County Metropolitan
Bureau of Investigation visited Super Fades, under cover, at 1:30 a.m and found
a stripper pole in the middle of the shop, paid $20 for some vodka, and saw
totally nude dancers working the room.
One was 17. The owner, Derrick
Price said he wasn’t operating an illegal strip joint. It was customer appreciation night. Strong defense. Strong.
He apparently threw customer appreciation
night every Saturday night. And when you
start charging for your liquor, and charge a $10 cover charge to get in the place,
customer appreciation night starts to look a lot like you’re really running a
strip club at the barber shop.
So, Price was arrested. So was the
17 year-old girl who was charged with lewd acts. Agents were trying to find out
if she was working against her will or was just scandalous. And the stripper pole was removed, for
dramatic effect, apparently.
WFTV, the local TV station,reported the full story, here, and also got the video shot the
police, but chose not to air it, because it was too graphic. It likely could have been child
pornography.
So, protip here: if you’re going to
run a strip club, get an adult-entertainment license and a liquor license and
don’t hire 17 year-olds as strippers. It
might be good for barbershop business and customer loyalty for Super Fades, but
if you don’t have licenses, you’re going to jail. Because you’re scandalous. No matter how much you appreciate your
customers.
