The beginning

The story of Hollywood’s most famous barbershop began in 1936 in what is known as the golden triangle of Beverly Hills, with the establishment of “Druckers” barbershop by legendary barber Harry Drucker. Here Drucker catered to the famous, infamous, and influential of Los Angeles’s boomtown era. Developing a reputation for offering exceptional products, service, and discretion.

Flash forward to the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in the 1960’s, where a young William Gornik got his start. Although, it did not take long before Gornik began to develop his own following of Hollywood elite. Leading him to acquire “Rothchild” barbershop in the 1970’s, where he elevated the shop on the corner of Wilshire Blvd. and Beverly Dr. to the level of the famous “Drucker’s”. Sparking a fierce rivalry, which lasted over a decade.

As Drucker began to age he approached Gornik to take over his legacy and combine the two shops, ending the rivalry and giving raise to “Gornik & Drucker” barbershop in 1989. From then on Gornik & Drucker barbershop, has sought to uphold the highest level of men’s grooming standards in its products and services.
