Del's Barber Shop Offers Cuts, Kitsch
 
Elvis Presley statue in barn

The first thing most visitors notice about Del's Styling Ranch in Annapolis, Md., isn't the acrid smell of permed hair.

Instead, it's the life-sized statue of Elvis Presley in owner Del Puschert's barn, which sits catty-corner to his barber shop. As speakers blast Elvis songs from five different CDs, 24 hours a day, the King peers down from a large window.

The figure is part of Puschert's seemingly endless collection of King memorabilia and antique tin signs -- which draw people to the shop for more than just haircuts.
