PHILADELPHIA — Meet Doug Walker, a barber, mentor, and the recently retired owner of Sharp Cuts Above, a North Philly barbershop.
—On the name: "I was going to call it the Jesus Saves Barbershop, but a couple barbers told me it might scare people away so I went with Sharp Cuts Above."
—Profanity prohibited: "We had a curse box. I'd say, 'Y'all want to pay for that? It'll cost you a dollar.' Eventually, I didn't even have to tell men not to curse; other clients or barbers would tell them not to."
