The Barbering Hall of Fame began in March, 1965 and was formally dedicated August 9, 1968 at its original site - 245 South High Street, Columbus, Ohio.  It is now located at the Barber Museum, 2 South High Street, Canal Winchester, Ohio.

The purpose of the Barbering Hall of Fame is to honor those who have distinguished themselves by an outstanding contribution in the furtherance of the barbering profession.  The general history of barbering is recorded in many forms but the identity of people who have been making outstanding contributions to barbering is soon lost - this should NOT happen.

It is our firm belief that a great number of persons have contributed to the advancement of the barber profession and should be recognized.  In this way we pay tribute to those persons who have endeavored to enhance the image of, and working conditions for the barber.
