THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US ON

THANK YOU FOR HAVING US.
John: TELL ME A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT MOJO BARBER SHOP FOUR
VIEWERS THAT DON'T KNOW MUCH
ABOUT IT.
EMOJI BARBER SHOP IS A
SALON, BARBER SHOP, OPEN SINCE
2011, WE'VE BEEN KEEPING
HAWAII'S MEN HAND SOME.
SINCE 2011 FOR THE PAST TEN
YEARS.
John: I'LL SAY THANK YOU
BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN THERE.
IT'S BEEN A WHILE.
BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC.
YES, YOU TREAT EVERYBODY VERY,
VERY NICELY.
SPEAKING OF PANDEMIC, HOW HAVE
YOU GUYS HAD TO ADAPT?
I'M SURE BEEN MORE DIFFICULT
FOR YOU GUYS.
SHUTDOWN FOR OVER HALF THE
YEAR, LAST YEAR, WE'VE HAD TO
MAKE A LOT OF CHANGES TO OUR
SHOP.
SO REQUIRING PPE FOR
EVERYBODY, EVERYBODY HAS TO
WEAR A MASK, WHILE THEY GET
THEIR HAIRCUT, SANITIZING OUR
HANDS, TEMPERATURE CHECKS,
WAVERS, WHOLE IS THAT BANG.
TRYING TO KEEP EVERYBODY
SAFE.
John: WE VISITED YOU
BEFORE BECAUSE THIS PARTICULAR
AWARD.

OF EDITION HOUSE GUYS AS THE
BEST BARBER SHOP.

?r♪ GREAT.
WE'RE VERY FORTUNATE.
GRATEFUL THAT RECOGNIZED GREAT
SHOP.
AND REPUTABLE BUSINESS.
John: LIKE I SAID EARL
ERICK YOU TREAT EVERYBODY THAT
COMES IN THERE SO GOOD.
MUSIC.
MAKE EVERYBODY FEEL
COMFORTABLE.
CAN YOU GIVE US KIND OF THE
ATMOSPHERE AND WHAT YOUR
THOUGHT WAS WHEN YOU DID THIS
BARBER SHOP, HOW WANTED PEOPLE
TO FEEL WHEN THEY CAME IN?
WE REALLY WANTED TO CREATE
A KIND OF NOSTALGIC PLACE FOR
MEN TO COME.
BARBER SHOP BACK IN THE DAY
WAS SOMEWHERE WHERE MEN COULD
COME AND HANG OUT AND TALK
ABOUT SPORT AND POLITICS AND
JUST FEEL AT HOME AND BE
COMFORTABLE.
SO THAT IS KIND OF WHAT WE
WANTED TO CREATE.
HERE BEING IN MCCULLY, JUST A
VERY GOOD NEIGHBORHOOD VIBE.
OTHER SHOP ON THE SAME BLOCK
AS US.
WE ALL CREATE SORT OF A LITTLE
COMMUNITY HERE.
AND EVERYBODY THAT COMES INTO
OUR SHOP IS FRIENDS, AND
FAMILY.
SO I THINK WE DID A PREGGY
GOOD JOB IN TRYING TO CREATE
THAT.
John: YOU SAID MCCULLY.
GIVE OUR VIEWERS WHERE YOU'RE
AT, AND HOW THEY CAN FIND YOU
GUYS ON LINE.
AND MAKE AN APPOINTMENT.
WE'RE RIGHT ON THE CORNER
OF KING AND MCCULLY.
THE OLD MCCULLY CHOP SUEY.
ICONIC LOCATION AND BUILDING.
