Sometime during this current decade, the Black barbershop will celebrate 200 years as a staple of African American institutions and culture. William T. Johnson (1809 – June 17, 1851), was born into slavery, emancipated in 1820, and became a barbershop owner in 1830, after years as an apprentice under his brother-in-law. He is recognized as the first professional Black barbershop owner in American history.
Maintaining the now centuries-old heritage of Black barbering, Cincinnati’s Cuts Plus Barber Shop, located at 1000 East McMillan Street, combines the latest techniques, amenities, and services of the trade, with the traditional welcoming atmosphere that invites men of color to exchange personal insights, opinions, experiences, and the camaraderie of racial kinship.
