SULPHUR SPRINGS - Boyz 2 Men Barbershop is a cut above other barbershops.

Online voters named it the best in the land, deserving of the Ford F-150 fifth annual Hoodie Award for best barbershop. Owners Edward and Teneca Williams picked up their trophy at a ceremony Oct. 20 in Las Vegas.

Their shop, 8403 N. Florida Ave., was one of four national finalists selected by online voters in August during comedian Steve Harvey's morning radio show.

'It was a blessing to be nominated,' Teneca Williams said.

The couple have been fielding lots of e-mails and phone calls since returning from Las Vegas, she said. The trophy is on display beside the shop's business license. Probably around Thanksgiving, the award show and interviews with winners will be aired on BET.

The couple opened the shop about six months ago in a storefront at Florida and Waters Avenue. Edward Williams said he plans to open two more barbershops and create a foundation to mentor boys.

Big John's Alabama Bar-B-Que, 5707 40th St., was a finalist as best barbecue place.
