Free Hair Cuts: Unchained Barbershop Opening Today In Phoenixville

PHOENIXVILLE, PA — You may have noticed a sign with a Gorilla advertising the “Unchained Barbershop” in the 300 block of Kimberton Road.

A group of budding entrepreneurs have been working all week to open a state-of-the-art barbershop at 509 Kimberton Road, Phoenixville. The shop will be open today from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The hard work will culminate on opening day, Jan. 6, with free haircuts for all.

John Ceianti partnered with his niece, Mackenzie Shoemaker, and friend, Maddie Lesinski to open the barbershop. Another friend, Justin Barberro will also work in the shop.
“We are trying to revitalize the area with a neighborhood barbershop,” Ceianti said. “People are already texting and stopping by.”
Ceianti, 31, a Phoenixville High School graduate, developed an interest in cutting hair when working at Sal’s Barber Shop for his friend, Brian Oplinger.

He got his license and decided to open a business with his niece and friends
“We are all set up,” he said. “We have barbers with both barber and cosmetology licenses, and we service men, women, boys, and girls.”

Ceianti said the group plans to partner with a local animal shelter once the business gets started.

“This is something we are all passionate about,” he said.
