"This profession changed my life"
|
The GQ Barber Shop in Carlisle (officially GQ III Barber Shop) is the third installment of the well-known GQ barbershop that’s been serving the Harrisburg area for over 20 years.
Kendell Cook aka KDell is the owner of the shop and opened it on October 17, 2016. Cutting hair had always been Cook’s passion and he dreamed of opening his own shop one day, and made his dream a reality. The GQ shop consists of a team of 4 witty and skillful barbers who put their all into each head that walks through the door. The 4 barbers are Kendell Cook (KDell), Anthony White (Ant), Dean, and Michael Baltimore (Mike). It is these 4 men and the surrounding community that has cultivated an environment where men, women, and children can unwind. Every time you walk in the shop it’s a different experience. Cutting hair, playing 2k, getting a tattoo, sitting on the couch, sleeping on the couch, making fun of each other and being handed someone’s mixed tape. The shop is a place of mutual respect and family. It becomes very clear when people leave the shop they carry themselves differently and display a sense of confidence and pride in their new look that was carefully created by these talented men that I had the privilege to get to know. |
