Trexler said the idea of Jake's Barber Co. was developed out of his desire to provide a classic barber shop experience.
Greencastle resident Jake Trexler always knew what he wanted when it came to a profession.
"As a teen, I told my mom I was either going to become a barber or a pastor," Trexler told The Putnam County Post.
Turns out, he has been able to do both. Jackson once served as a pastor and now is opening Jake's Barber Co., 16 South Jackson St., Greencastle. The barber shop is set to open August 19 and will be open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Appointments can be booked at jakesbarberco.com.
"Before pursuing barbering, I worked as a pastor in the community and grew to care deeply about the people who live here. For me, it's about the people. I wanted to build something that the community would be drawn to because they found a place where they could belong," Trexler said.
Trexler said the idea of Jake's Barber Co. was developed out of his desire to provide a classic barber shop experience with an emphasis on customer care.
"I enjoy cutting hair, but more than that, I want every person that comes into the shop to know that we are excited to see them and connect with them. I am very excited for all of the people who do not have a regular barber/stylist yet to get to experience the tradition of barbering at JBC.
He said haircuts, beard trims and shaves are very important for a simple reason.
"When we get cleaned up, we often feel more confident and like ourselves," said Trexler, who will be joined by Teddy Waggoner, who is a barber.
As for what someone can expect when they book a haircut, Trexler said customers can expect to be treated like family.
"They can expect a warm greeting as they walk through the door and then a detailed consultation and quality haircut experience. Our message to Greencastle is to life your life well and look sharp while doing it. Come see us at Jake's Barber Co. to experience the tradition of barbering," Trexler said.
