The Columbia City's neighborhood storefronts boast a lot of charm, color, and sometimes a certain trendiness. Big John's Barber Shop is not a trendy multi-station affair, say like a "Rudy's" or a "Lucky 7", but an authentic 2 chair throwback to this historic business district's mid-century days. Big John is a Seattlite who has been in business for many years in one location, through the bad and good economic times the neighborhood has seen.
