“We got a pretty simple little business here.” “Cutting hair is the easy part,” Haynes said. “That’s the most important thing.”Īs Haynes started cutting Sellman’s hair, the conversation, as it so often does in the shop, turned to the weather and current events. “We are here every day and not all barbers can say that,” said Haynes, the owner for 14 years. “Everything has gotten expensive,” said Haynes, who earned his license at the Cincinnati School of Barbering and Hair Design. Haynes said when he started at Hamilton West Barber Shop 28 years ago, a hair cut cost $7. John Sellman, 82, of Hamilton, a longtime customer, said he enjoys appointments because they reduce his wait time. Those restrictions were lifted, but Haynes said the shop still takes appointments because it creates a better work flow for the customers and the barbers. Barber shops were forced to accept appointments to reduce the number of customers waiting and to keep track of all their customers in case there was an outbreak of COVID-19, Haynes said.
