It was December 1966. A young Joe Briggs was working on a home project with his dad when he was asked, What are you going to do the rest of your life? How are you going to make a living? Joe said he had a friend going to barber school and thought it might be a good thing to do. In February 1967, he enrolled at the barber college in Central Illinois. Come along on his journey learning the barbering profession and how it sustained him. Now he wants to share fifty years of his life from a barber’s perspective-the stories, the jokes, and the come on in feeling one could only experience in a barbershop. If only his chair could talk, it would share his knowledge of what has become a fading art, a lost profession, a forgotten place where strangers felt like friends.
