The founder, Rodney Donaldson, a licensed barber and a long-time resident of Hagerstown, envisioned a business that combines traditional barbering services with an atmosphere conducive to spiritual refreshment. The lounge officially began operations on April 1, 2026. Donaldson, who has raised a family in the area, stated that Hagerstown was chosen as the location to build a business that serves the community.
At 3:16 Barber Lounge, the philosophy is that a haircut should offer more than just a superficial change. The establishment aims to foster connection by replacing television noise with meaningful dialogue and an uplifting atmosphere. Patrons can expect a space designed for them to disconnect from the digital world and experience positive conversations, leaving them feeling heard and understood. The lounge also seeks to provide a sanctuary for men of all ages to relax and recharge, offering encouragement and what it describes as “soulful refreshment.”
The mission of the 3:16 team extends beyond grooming services. They aspire to be a positive influence in Hagerstown’s growth by helping to cultivate a community that residents are proud to call home. The goal is to create an environment where individuals can feel confident in their appearance while also receiving encouragement and feeling cared for. The lounge invites everyone to visit, whether for grooming services or simply to stop by and say hello. The overarching aim is for every person who enters 3:16 Barber Lounge to leave feeling inspired to persevere.
3:16 Barber Lounge, LLC is located at 324 E. Antietam St., Suite 204 B, Hagerstown, MD 21740. For inquiries, individuals can contact the lounge by phone at 240-217-2271 or via email at rodneydonaldson012@gmail.com. The business also maintains a presence on Facebook and Instagram.
This new business offers residents a unique blend of personal grooming and a space for reflection and positive interaction.
