(About) — read slowly

You won’t find a thousand photos here. Not yet. What you’ll find is a barber from Ukraine who moved his chair to Gatineau, Quebec — one room, one client, no waiting line — and who packs his tools and comes to you when the occasion deserves it. The name is a stage name. The skill is not.
