The man behind the shears is John Hall, 42; he has just opened The Ultimate Barber at 2712 Jefferson Davis Highway.
On the walls, Hall has yearly awards to his credit: for best barber, for best barbershop, for best men’s haircut and even a business hall of fame.
Reliability and consistency is his mantra. That means being on time and giving the look his clients want. It means being aware of culture and hairstyles, military requirements and trends, a classic look or design worn by athletes.
The Ultimate Barber is equipped with Wi-Fi and other amenities.
