The CBA is coming...

In the mid 2000′s, Kirk Merchant, owner of Truefitt & Hill barbershop, noticed that interest in traditional barbering was finally coming back after a long hiatus.  However, there was not a sufficient supply of either barbers or barbershops to meet the future demand.  So in 2008 he created the Chicago Barbers Association to promote the profession of barbering to a new generation.  Then, in 2010, he partnered with Joe Caccavella, Jr and together they have begun bringing Chicago area barbers together to network and work together to revive the industry.
