<p>I am curious; Are there any African American barbershops in Charlottesville? Believe it or not, this is very important. </p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>One of our deans was adamant that you go to Jermell’s on Commerce Street. It is on the free trolley route, a short ride from the Corner. There are two barbers on that street, both with J names, so just be careful about which one you use. My colleague went so far as to recommend a specific barber, JJ. Let me know if you need phone numbers. :)</p>
<p>If someone recommends “J&T” on Main Street, be aware that the shop used to be Jermell’s (I remember when it was called J&T and it was always busy…now, not so much). They may not be aware that he has moved a few blocks.</p>
<p>For ladies, Ebony Images (near Best Buy) was recommended by a staff member who is also an alumna. It’s on the bus route (I think the #5 or the #7).</p>
<p>Thanks Dean J. You always give such speedy replies. Looks like I’ll be going to Jermell’s—so glad that this barbershop exists! lol.</p>
<p>Just be aware that if Jermell looks well-groomed, unless he can do his own hair in a tri-fold mirror, he’s likely getting his hair cut at J&T! :)</p>
<p>Jarmell is the “J” in “J&T”. </p>
<p>Jermell sold the old shop to a woman and it is now a unisex salon called Natur’el or something like that. At Jermell’s new shop, there are three barbers: Jermell, JJ, and Jay. :)</p>
<p>I have walked past the store front that was J&T’s for years and noticed a change in the number of people going there when it switched over. There are far fewer people there…perhaps they all moved with Jermell.</p>
<p>lmao! That’s a lot of Js.</p>
