Hawks adding barbershop to arena

Why get fresh before the game when you can get fresh at the game?
The Hawks are teaming with rapper Killer Mike to add a barbershop to Philips Arena. Never again will you have to choose between getting a haircut and attending a Hawks game. Wednesday, the Hawks unveiled their plans to renovate Philips Arena, and a barbershop is part of the blueprint.
The "S.W.A.G. Shop" is just one of many renovations the Hawks will be looking to make to Philips Arena.
"We will open a 4-chair barber shop overlooking the court."
