Brief description: Chris Jones has been a barber for 34 years and owns The Barbershop, a popular 7-chair traditional barbershop in central New Jersey. His knowledge of barbering history has been developed through serious research, writing, and speaking on its many aspects, collecting barbering antiques, historically documenting papers on the subject, and curating barbershop museum exhibits.
