James Rice, 75, helped to shape minds for more than half a century at his barber shop.

Rice, 75, grew up close to his father's barber shop, which was founded in 1953. At age 14, Rice experimented with his first haircut and then received his license to cut professionally at age 18.

He decided that he would retire from cutting hair upon the start of the 2023 New Year. So today, friends and family threw him a farewell celebration. And of course, customers came to receive their final cut from Rice. Rice hopes that the barber trade will continue to exist in Philadelphia for more than just providing haircuts.
