Tyrone Robinson, the 70-year-old owner of Git It Done Right Hair Salon, said he aims to make everyone who walks through his shop doors smile. Before patrons even take a seat in one of his swiveling barbershop chairs, Robinson is cracking jokes to make them feel at ease.

âI like to make people laugh. Laughter is what heals the soul,â Robinson said. âYou might have something going on outside the shop, but when you come in here, I try to make you forget all about that.â
