TL/DR VERSION: Great barber, clean shop, great location. I find it fitting that he's working in a tattoo shop, because he has the same passion for his craft that the others share for tattooing. Dude provides a level of service well above what he charges, so don't be a goon. Tip the man. I met Jeff at the shop he was working at in Oxford, Ohio in the summer of 2016. I hadn't had a proper haircut and straight razor shave in nearly 5 months, and the last haircut I had received ...was from a 70 year old Phillipino man that may or may not have spoken much English. (So far, it has unanimously been the worst haircut anyone has ever seen. Yes. I have pics.) Anyway...back to our story... Jeff killed it. Wicked-fine hot towel straight razor shave, precision cut, perfect beard trim, straight razor and Pinaud to the neck to finish. The man has not only a passion, but a talent for the craft of barbering! Unfortunately for me, Oxford is too far to drive every 2-3 weeks, so I ended up not making it back out to see him again. Sad face. Today, I'm heading through town and realize that Immortal Canvas has opened up the barber shop! Score!! I need my fro busted in a bad way, so I'll stop in and see what's going down...maybe they can sneak me in. I walk through the door. The lobby is nice. The place is clean. Nice! As I walk to the counter, I'm facing the barbers chair, and boom. There he is. JP The Barber. The clouds parted. Cherubs laughed. A unicorn came out of nowhere and high-fived me. Ok...none of that stuff happened, but I was totally stoked that Jeff was the barber. Let me tell ya...you ladies think you got it rough finding someone to cut and color and do whatever to your hair?? Trying being a guy trying to find a proper barber. I know...I know... a woman's hair is heavy business, but I'm looking for the guy that I'm gonna pay to put a straight razor to my throat a couple times a month. � Oxford was too far to drive, but I drive past Immortal Canvas twice a day, so this was just like the stars aligning for me. Imagine that your hair girl has her salon right down the street, and your nail girl works there, and they sell LuLaRoe AND they'll take you as a walk-in. Anytime. I wait for about 30 minutes for Jeff to finish up with the fella that's in the chair before me. We catch up briefly, he gets down to it, and about an hour later, I'm lookin better than I have in months and I feel incredible. I skipped the shave today, but I still got a damn fine haircut with superior attention to detail...right down to the hot lather and straight razor to the neck line, followed up by powder to finish. Superb! Not to mention that the dude is just a down to earth cat that loves what he does. I gave the man five stars, because I really can't justify giving him anything less. What's more, If you take my advice, you'll start booking your appointments now fellas...he's gonna be too busy to cut us all, and there's only room for one chair in that shop...
