CHILLICOTHE When Jemar Harris opened Undisputed Knock n Out The Competition Barbershop he wanted to create a unique ministry that allowed him to give back to the community.
That was in 2017 and many would say that Harris has accomplished his mission. Now, the faith-based barber has a new vision and believes God gave him the opportunity to see it through. Soon, he plans to take the business on the road by converting a bus into a mobile barbershop. It ll have the Undisputed touch, Harris said. We re going to be simplistic about it and welcoming. This isn t something that I ve done we know that God is going to bless this entire thing and only he can get the glory.
