Barbershopis a 2002 American comedy-drama film and the first installment in the Barbershop series directed by Tim Story and written by Mark Brown, Don D. Scott and Marshall Todd, from a story by Brown. It was produced by George Tillman Jr., Robert Teitel and Brown. The film stars Ice Cube, Anthony Anderson, Sean Patrick Thomas, Eve, Troy Garity, Michael Ealy, Leonard Earl Howze, Keith David and Cedric the Entertainer. Its plot revolves around the social life in a barbershop on the South Side of Chicago.

On a cold winter day in Chicago, Calvin Palmer Jr. (Ice Cube) decides he has had enough of trying to keep open the barbershop his father handed down to him. He cannot borrow, revenues are falling, and he seems more interested in get-rich-quick schemes to bring in easy money. Without telling his employees or the customers, he sells the barbershop to a greedy loan shark, Lester Wallace (Keith David), who secretly plans to turn it into a strip club.


After spending a day at work, and realizing just how vital the barbershop is to the surrounding community, Calvin rethinks his decision and tries to get the shop back - only to find out Wallace wants double the $20,000 he paid Calvin to return it, and before 7 pm that day. Right after he admits to the employees that he sold the barber shop, and that it would be closing at the end of the day, the police arrive to arrest one of the barbers, Ricky (Michael Ealy).


Ricky is accused of driving his pickup truck into a nearby market to steal an ATM, but it's revealed that his cousin J.D. (Anthony Anderson) committed the crime after borrowing Ricky's truck. As this would be Ricky's 'third strike', he could be sentenced to life in prison. Calvin uses the $20,000 from Lester to bail Ricky out of jail, but because J.D. was going to let Ricky take the fall without remorse, Ricky is still angry.


Calvin reveals that he found a gun in Ricky's locker in the barbershop and shows it to him. They stop the car and Ricky throws the gun into the Chicago River, proving that he does not want to get into any more trouble. Then they both go to confront Lester, as well as J.D. and Billy (Lahmard Tate), who took the ATM to Lester's place without his knowledge, still trying to pry it open. Calvin and Ricky demand that Lester give the barbershop back.


Angered, Lester orders his bodyguard Monk (Kevin Morrow) to pull out his gun. The police arrive just in time to save Calvin and Ricky and arrest J.D. and Billy. Calvin and Ricky see the ATM, and get a $50,000 reward for returning it to police. They get the money, and the barbershop reopens with even better business than before. In the meantime, Calvin's wife Jennifer (Jazsmin Lewis) has given birth to a baby boy.


Produced on a $12 million budget,[5] Barbershop, with a story by Mark Brown and a screenplay by Brown, Marshall Todd, and Don D. Scott, was filmed in Chicago during the winter of 2001 to early 2002. The filmmakers used a storefront in the South Chicago community area (79th Street and Exchange Avenue) that was once a laundromat to build the set for Calvin's barbershop, and the set was duplicated on a soundstage. Similar to what he achieved with his 1997 film Soul Food, producer George Tillman Jr. wanted to portray African Americans in a more positive and three-dimensional light than many other Hollywood films had in the past. This film also features three original songs by R&B singer/songwriter Sherod Lindsey.


During the fall of 2005, State Street and Ice Cube debuted Barbershop: The Series on the Showtime cable network, with Omar Gooding taking over Ice Cube's role of Calvin. The character "Dinka" is renamed "Yinka" on Barbershop: The Series, as "Dinka" is not a typical Nigerian name (although a certain tribe in the Nigerian middle belt bears the name "Dimka"). In addition, Isaac's last name is changed from "Rosenberg" to "Brice", and the character Ricky has been replaced by a more hardened ex-con, Romadal.


In 2014, a third Barbershop film was announced, titled Barbershop: The Next Cut. In late March of that year, MGM executives revealed that they have been negotiating deals with Ice Cube to appear in the film.[8] A year later, MGM announced that the studio has been setting up deals with Cedric the Entertainer, Queen Latifah, Lisa Maffia, and Nicki Minaj to appear in the film. Malcolm D. Lee directed the film and New Line Cinema distributed it.[9] The film was released on April 15, 2016.[10]


Keeping up with my shape ups in between haircuts was something I loved to do and took pride in. Eventually that led me to having my friends let me do theirs. My first haircut was probably when I was in 7th to 8th grade with my friend's moms home clippers. Little did I know what I was doing they believed I did so I went with it. After this I took a personal interest in what my barber would do when he cut my hair for the blends to shape ups and machines being used. I had bought my own set up at the age 14 and was more than excited to put them to good use. My first skin fade though was prob the worst thing I have done in my life!! Lol. Throughout high school I use to do haircuts in my den and created a pretty dope set up and people were coming to me for cuts.


When I was 16 I started working in my first barbershop Profilez which built the backbone and foundation of skills and knowledge that I have today including obtaining my Master Barber License I was even cutting hours before my senior prom making sure everyone had haircuts! This took me throughout the ending of high school and through college both working and going to school full time where I ended up with my Masters in Business Administration. At the end of college, I was able to transition from working at Profilez to buying Picasso's Barbershop and revamping and renaming it All Style Studio. Built a solid foundation there and ended up selling the business and starting fresh with the already established name The Works Barbershop Corporation.


Here is where I was able to implement all my knowledge and skills that I learned through business, communication, schooling, and overall life experiences to develop a foundation that I strongly stand behind in running a successful business. The atmosphere is never dull, and we are always throwing in a little twist in our environment that stand out to our clients all the time. We are well known throughout our community and will continue to build a legacy for the name itself and will forever grow our business model and evolve with the changing times that we all know. Come on down you will not be disappointed.


I received my Cosmetology license and started cutting hair in 2013. Within 4 years of waxing and doing both men and woman's hair, I came to realize that I did not enjoy doing women's hair and that I preferred cutting men. I then decided to go to barber school in February of 2017. In June of the same year, I began working at a barbershop in Deer Park which was also previously owned by Danny and two months later, in August I received my barber license. Not wanting to give up waxing, I decided to work at European wax center part time, to better my skills as wax specialist. After about a year there, I decided that I could continue my waxing in the barbershop and add it as a service, which thankfully has become extremely popular.


I have come to realize that both eyebrow shaping and barbering bring out my meticulous side. I think that is what I love most about the two. I enjoy being able to see and try to perfect my creations, whether it is the arch of an eyebrow or the blending of a fade, it is just a satisfying feeling for me... I guess that is just the Virgo in me, which would also explain why during any free time in the shop, you will probably find me cleaning/organizing something, anything. Either that or you will hear me yelling at my phone watching telanovelas.


During my free time out of the shop, I enjoy keeping active! I am no fitness freak, but I enjoy a nice run on my Monday's off. I love nature and being outdoors so spring, summer and beginning of fall are the best to me. I also really enjoy baking. Those brookies, cupcakes and other fun treats you see out during the holidays? That is me! I am all about trying new and fun recipes! I'm both Dominican and Puerto Rican so you know this Latina typically loves her rice, beans and chicken but being that Pinterest is my go-to for just about everything, I'm always able to find/try different recipes on there! I also use Pinterest to help me with ideas for the shop.


What's trending in the cosmo/barber world? What services can I add to my list? How do I do them? I just recently added lash lifting and tinting to my service list after having added eyebrow tinting to go with the shaping services and I am hoping it continues to bring in more female clientele to the shop. I would like to add eyebrow threading and braiding to my service list soon. The Works Barbershop to me is more than just a barbershop but a comforting and welcoming environment to absolutely everyone so as a barber who is also a licensed cosmetologist, I would like to be able to offer all the services that I can to welcome any and every one to my chair. Eventually, in the future, I would even like to carry along the name and welcome everyone into the next location of The Works Barbershop.


When I was 15 years old, my barber realized I was doing my own shape up on my chin strap and told me I should learn how to cut hair and I asked if he could teach me and from that day on I was in the shop everyday watching and learning and asking a bunch of questions. I have always enjoyed cutting hair and watching people react to the transformation they saw created right before their eyes, that has always been one of the best parts of cutting hair.


My favorite thing to do while cutting hair is always listening to good music to keep the vibe flowing or a good movie, and also having good laughs with other barbers in the shop because that gets the customers and clients involved and always creates that family atmosphere that everyone can laugh with.When I am not cutting hair, I am usually working on my minibike or trying to build or fix something or going upstate with my girl and her son to ride our quads and go hunting for old school antiques.
