In Vermilion, Ohio, the barber shop is located in the heart of downtown. In view of Vermilion’s long nautical heritage, the shop is called the Captain’s Chair.
The Captain’s Chair is a barber shop in its unadulterated form. There is no pretense of hair styling, or unisex salon trendiness. The barber pole is in its classic form, if a bit battered. There is a red and white striped awning, scissors and comb are shown on the big front window, and old-fashioned barber chairs inside. As you walk by, you can see men getting their clipping or thumbing through magazines as they wait their turn.
