- Ready for a classic haircut in a beautifully preserved 1960s local community Ohio Barber Shop? 💈💇🏻♂️
It was such a pleasure to meet Bryce Howard, owner of Kettering Barber Company in Dayton, Ohio, and hear his story about how one experience at a barbershop changed his life!
Bryce had been working for six years in the medical field and had studied nursing for a year. He thought his professional path was going to be in the medical field for life, however, just before his wedding he decided to go downtown to visit a "real barber." 💈
In the past, Bryce said he typically visited chain chop shops for a haircut. Upon entering the traditional barbershop he was immediately made to feel welcomed and was taken by how the barbers enjoyed their work and were able to make people feel good.
The moment that changed his life's path was when the barber applied lather to his neck and gave a straight razor neck shave. After leaving the barbershop, Bryce remembers seeing his reflection in his car and thinking “Wow!" about how he looked and felt good.
Still in the car, Bryce immediately called his soon-to-be wife and told her, "It's time to switch careers!”
Bryce's journey to becoming a barber began with a deep dive into barbering history. Bryce found himself quickly falling in love with the industry.
Within a year, Bryce was enrolled in barber school and preparing a career transition into barbering all while juggling his previous job as a full-time medical professional.
Just a few months before graduating from barber school, Bryce was approached with a life-changing proposal. An opportunity to continue the legacy of Max's Barber Shop, named after the original owner, a shop that was established in 1965.
✨ Almost 60 years ago, Max and his wife Josephine dreamed of opening a barbershop 💕 Bryce said the couple built Max's Barber Shop "with hard work, faith, and a whole lot of love!”
When Max retired, the barber shop was passed to one of his barbers named Ralph.
When Ralph passed away so his wife called Max & Josephine. They wanted the shop to go to another barber. Max contacted the barber college which is how Bryce was approached about continuing this traditional barbershop.
With the encouragement and support of his wife, Bryce took the plunge. Of course this was a risk, and Bryce constantly wondered if he had made the right decision. Through it all, Bryce said his wife always believed in him and never worried that he wouldn't make it ❤️
"I wanted it 100% to still stay a traditional barbershop and keep the bones the same and not change too much in terms of the structure," Bryce shared with us.
✨ Bryce says, "Do it because you love it, and because it's the right thing to do.”
For Bryce, working as a Nursing Assistant in the medical field was never about the money neither is cutting hair. Bryce's work ethic is driven by a need for people to be cared for and because it is the right thing to do to help people in need. So when leaving the medical field, Bryce knew he, "would at least bring all of those same characteristic traits to cutting hair too.”
In 2022, Max's Barber Shop officially became Kettering Barber Company, and Max and Josephine attended the grand opening to celebrate the start of a new chapter in the history of this community barbershop❣️ 🙌🏼💈
Max happily became the first person to get a haircut in the shop 🥹 The first of many for Bryce and the start of something to be proud of for many decades to come in the Kettering neighborhood!

Good to see the younger generation keeping the fine art of barbering alive and well.
Casually walks in and locks door as if he was the owner..😂
I require your full attention during my cut :)
😂😂😂
i was just about to say the same thing lol..
"Now youse can't leave"
Hmmm
Maybe he does own it.
Maybe he owns all of these barbershops...
Harry locking the door like Chaz Palminteri in A Bronx Tale….”Now you’s can’t leave!” 😂
Came here to say the same thing!
I was thinking what the heck he was doing..lol But now I know he was letting the barber know he's cant leave..lol
😂😂 badass.
Thought the same thing lol 😆
lol
now there's a very competent barber, quietly going about his business, no pretentions, just good service and a quality looking haircut. nice
When harry locked the door i expected him to say "manners...maketh...the man"
I expected him to say Expecto patronem!!
I think that might be the first time I heard you say "Oh wow!" when seeing a completed haircut. Thanks for the video, Harry. You keep me relaxed.
Very true - first time ever
Bearing in mind, the nice back-story history regarding this barbershop, Bryce has actually done himself and the shop a huge credit by producing an immaculate haircut for Harry here. Genuinely one of or possibly thee best i've seen on this channel so far!
10/10 flawless! Harry looks a million dollars
Absolutely love the look and colors of this barber shop.
I’d recognize that OD green anywhere ;)
A fantastic story of how Bryce came into the barbering world. Changing career paths is no easy choice, not to mention having it happen shortly before getting married. It's great to see him continuing the tradition with such passion.
One of the clearest and most pleasant memories of my childhood is the neighborhood barbershop... Shorty's... that my dad & I walked to once a month for our haircuts in the late 50's. The building, with Shorty's name still painted on the side & the same striped barber pole by the front door, remains. It's a local landmark now, with those same chairs & all his barber tools frozen in time & on display to view thru that now sealed front window.
I visited not long ago for the first time in decades. I could vividly hear, smell & feel those Saturday mornings from all those many years ago with my dad. They were a treasured social event to this small boy.
Thanks, Pop. And Shorty. Here's to you both... 🍻
This reminds me of the type of barbershop 💈my grandmother would take us to when we were little kids in the early-mid 60s. She would march my brother and I there and once we were done she would say “now you look like human beings again”. 😂😂😂. Love this old shop vibe as it triggered some wonderful memories of people who are gone now but always in my heart ❤
The best barber I’ve ever been too. Genuine, respectful, attentive, and very personable. I highly recommend him to anyone coming through Ohio!!!
Im from Warren where you from ?
he's cut Harry's hair so nice here, I mean it suits him perfectly, he's never looked better leaving a barber's chair imo
Never thought I'd see a barbershop I've actually been to on this channel. Amazing.
What a great story, from medical to barbering. More people like him are needed to keep this tradition alive. Not hairdressers but barbers.
Glad to see these shops still going. No nonsense, just a good men's cut.
I have had an absolutely awful day: getting home and finding this new video makes me so happy
Glad the new video helps a little bit to brighten the day! Hopefully, this week gets better :)
please make a second video with Bryce, it was amazing!
After 7 seven years following you. You still hit! You never failed with your videos.
This barber is great. Very talented, good eye for detail and like the way he takes his time. Well done and thanks Harry for another great vid.
The attention to detail, the methodical approach, the concentration...
Love the way this young barber works!
I go to Ohio every November, so if I get the chance, then I'm definitely stopping off here for a trim & tidy up!
I’m waiting for the day, when Harry says “you can do what ever you want”, and the barber does a Mohawk 😂
A pink mohawk
I think nobody is appreciating the videography of these videos. How the hell do they do that? Multiple angles, close-ups at the same time as hand-held, against a mirror and NEVER a camera man in frame?? This is top notch
Thank you, thy Messiah.
the barber - he doesnt do any tricks with the scissors or he doesnt juggle the items . no unecessary moves at all.
just perfect job.
So great to see young talented Barbers showing their skills to all of Harry’s followers! I so much enjoy seeing all the Barbers around the world 💯💯
I grew up 35 minutes from here and have followed your page from day 1. Awesome to see you in ohio
Wow - that’s awesome to hear! We had a great time visiting and meeting Bryce 🙌🏼💈
What an amazing life to have to travel the world, near & far, enjoying the most top notch men’s grooming experiences. Absolutely amazing yet again
What a lovely shop and story! Congratulations Bryce!
Overall great cut. I appreciated most of all the barber’s calm & friendly demeanor and precise strokes. All together they made for a relaxing and enjoyable viewing experience. Thanks Harry for highlighting such skill in the Midwest!
Love his story. Awesome to see when someone finds a job they love
It’s bed time for my 1 yo in the uk right now, and I can happily say he enjoyed watching this one with me… he did only last 10mins though Harry! 😂 keep up the great work 😊
Who would have thought that watching a video of a barber giving a haircut would be so fascinating and enjoyable. Yet, here we are.
This young dude really knows his stuff!!! Great job!!
Personally loved the barber, he was gentle and had a nice attention to detail. Loved the final product too. Cheers!
Young lad made a very good job of your hair. Quality work with attention to detail.
People must love their state of Ohio because I’m not sure I’ve ever seen so many comments from locals. Pretty neat, really.
It's been awesome to see everyone from Ohio in the comments! We were just saying to Bryce that we didn't realize so many people were tuning in to our channel from Ohio :)
the care he took with this cut!! Didn't rush any part of this haircut and it turned out so good!! A geat video and even better backstory
Harry was locking himself in for a great haircut experience! Clean shop with a really sharp young barber! So good to see the younger generation carrying on the CRAFT. 💈♥👍
Welcome to my home state, I hope you were treated nicely.
Loved the aesthetics of this shop and the sound on this one was superb.
What a terrific hair cut! Outstanding. I would be a customer if I lived in Kettering
Love that lettering on the window. Beautifully done.
Excellent to aee the youngsters continuing an ancient and honourable craft. This lad will be outstanding in years to come judging by his attention to detail. Everything about him screams professionalism and quality. Imagine his skill level 20 years from now 😮.
Always a good day when I get to see Harry get a cut
I love this guy. He reminds me of Pat at Elizabeth’s Barbers with his mannerisms and Sweeney Ted with his precision. Excellent video.
When your barber's shoes match the floor is a nice touch.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I'm from Ukraine and we're at war. After a hard day with a lot of shelling, I go to bed and turn on your videos. it's really relaxing. I’m really looking forward to victory and want to come to the USA.
Salute you from India.. keep going and believe in yourself 🩵
@@sayanmondal4235 but Indian soldiers are fighting against Ukraine in war
It's upto government. I personally salute u from my side. U understand
Bro don't mind but I don't know what you guys are gaining from this war.usa gaining money by selling weapons . Russia gaining land and natural resources.but what you guys gaining nothing. You guys are just losing your land, losing your home,losing your family, losing your life.
Love over hate,peace over war greed is the root to it all stay safe out there 🇺🇸🫡🖤
Professional and polite barber giving a professional, well groomed haircut.
You've had a lot pf good cuts but this might be your best ever. Top notch. Def top 3
I love how the shop still has the 1960's look but still has some modern touches in the decor. The barber seems young and new to the job. However, did a wonderful job cutting Harry's hair 😁
I live in Ohio. Need to go check this place out one day
Definitely check it out and say "hello" to Bryce for us :)
One of the best haircuts you’ve been done, in my opinion.
What an awesome story. Super skillful haircut. It’s inspiring seeing those pursue their dreams and passions in life.
Really enjoyed this video. Well done Bryce, and thanks Harry!
Great to see Harry back in the chair. Barber was careful, organised and very thorough. Thanks to both...
After all these years it's beautiful you still entertain us and teach us the art of barbering. As well as the art of ASMR that comes with it. Amazing work❤.
That was a great video . Awesome barber , so respectful and his shop was awesome as well .
You made it to my homeland of Dayton! Love it!
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Home of the Wright Brothers, Guided By Voices, The Breeders, etc
Really Relaxing video and soothing, from The South of France!
Wow, this is my favorite by far.
This was so relaxing to watch. No rushing. Meticulous but I mostly like his demeanor. Very welcoming.
Another winner. Great story. 👍
the green in the shop is really sharp. beautifully designed spot!
Wow this guy is good! Very clean cut
That's a beautiful barber shop and a great barber!!
I think this is one of your best finished looks!
The description of the video could be a blockbuster hit haha, loved the story telling. Thank you for another great video.
Thanks so much for taking the time to read the video description 🙏🏼 You can see some photos on our TH-cam Community post including a picture of Max & his wife Josephine, who opened the shop in 1965 💕 th-cam.com/users/postUgkxVl6TsbronHDY9H-eqgjNVkwh6YsFF03e
Classic middle American cut. Well executed. Thaks Harry.
Ok I love the spraying of the water!!!! It’s always been an asmr trigger for some strange reason lmao
I'm in Ohio. Very cool that you came here for a vid
That's awesome! We weren't in town for very long but enjoyed our visit and had a great time meeting Bryce :)
Never thought I’d see Harry in Dayton! It’s like a second home to me as it’s where I work… just a few things: thanks for taking the time for the smaller cities in the USA besides the big ones! There are a lot of good folks out there! Also, Harry I gotta say you look damn good with a touch of gray coming through. Aging alongside you having watched this channel for years, it makes me feel a weird sort of emotional to see how far and wide you’ve travelled, and I’m very grateful you’ve taken us along with you. Safe travels and best wishes Harry and mystery woman!
It's a good day when a haircut video drops on the same day I get a haircut myself :)
I think this is the best cut ive seen you get. He did an amazing job!
Southwest Ohio is a great area. Glad you filmed here!
Thanks for the post.
I live in LA now... but I grew up in Dayton. The city has been through several rough economic downturns. Yet bounces back!
The people are super nice in Dayton.
I really enjoy your global travels and haircuts. My uncle was a 30-year barber in Blanchester, Ohio. Another small Ohio town.
Thanks!
A little side story:
My Great Uncle the barber was a WW II US Army Anti-Aircraft gunner, fought in the Pacific Campaign with General MacAurthur. He was born in 1922, in Littcarr, Kentucky. In addition to being a barber after the war, he was a private pilot and also raised Palomino horses on his Ohio farm. Many of his horses were used in the Rose Bowl parades.
Once in 1966, a traveling circus came through Wilmington, Ohio. They brought a lion to his barbershop. My uncle put the lion in his barber chair and gave it a haircut! It made the newspaper. LOL
He passed away in 2019 at 97 years old! Would tell patrons stories they could not believe. All were true.
Thanks for giving the Buckeye State a little love!
The sound of the hairspray is like heaven!
This young barber has a bright future.
I really enjoy your content, Harry. You and your videographer do a wonderful job. Thanks.
Thank you - we appreciate that 🙏🏼 We’re happy you enjoy our videos!
Great haircut probably my favorite
Another Amazing Experience 😁
That checkerboard floor is the bomb diggity.
Barbers LOVE when you tell them "You can do whatever you want with it". They LITERALLY thank YOU
Very nice cut. Great barber.
Great video harry, great haircut, great barber,love the shop, always a pleasure to watch 👌👍😀
I would love it if a barber was to cut Harry’s hair into a mohawk !! I would love to see how it comes to be.
