Jimmy and Jun’s Barber

뉴대성 이발관

 

Jimmy and Jun's barber used to be run by Greek people before Mr. Chon came into the picture. Before the pandemic, it was one Greek person and two Korean barbers at the shop.

Today, in post-pandemic times, only Mr. Chon comes out to the shop. He arrives at the store around 9 am after an hour-long walk and closes shop around 3 pm and walks home again. Though Mr. Chon is in his late 70s, he has no thoughts of retiring.

In addition to being a barber, Mr. Chon is a highly skilled calligrapher and has won presidential awards in Korea. He loves interacting with his customers and he delights in helping people feel good about themselves through his barber services.
