WHY No Grease! Barbershop

Founders, Twin brothers Damian and Jermaine Johnson are second generation barbers. The trade was instilled in them by their mother who was a beautician and a salon owner. The Johnson Brothers founded No Grease! Barbershop June 1997. Soon they would be joined by Charlie Petty another passionate master barber. Together each with over 25 years of experience, these gentlemen refined No Grease! Barbershop into a business that “develops people, who develop families, who develop communities”. Doing all this while holding true to all the traditions of the American Barbershop.
