Perfect Haircuts
Columbus’ Favorite Barbershop Since 1929
For 90 years, Nini’s Barbershop has been your locally owned barbershop giving our loyal customers, close shaves and high-quality cuts. Whether you are looking for a quick buzz cut or a new modern style, our professionally trained barbers are equipped to give you the exact look you need. Our attention to detail and barber training is second to none. Our third-generation barbershop has proudly been the go-to barbershop for The Ohio State students since 1929. Our locations throughout the years started on campus and have always been convenient to the campus. Visit Nini’s today for a full and relaxing haircut and beard shave.
The History Of Nini’s
In 1929, Ben and Floyd Nini opened their barbershop at 1599 N High Street on The Ohio State University campus. Back then, haircuts were only 40 cents and shaves were 25 cents. The shop moved, in 1937, to 1604 N High Street and again to its present location here at 2088 Henderson Road in 1967.
We have always taken pride in our connection to the Columbus area. One of Nini’s first customers was the late, great Jimmy Crum. In 1967, during the famous Columbus riots, Ben Nini would provide cool towels and protection for citizens that were hurt or injured during the ordeal. Three generations of Nini’s, originating with Ben, have continued this barbering tradition in Columbus, Ohio for 90 years.

Charlie
Charlie graduated from Ohio State Barber College in 1980. After working in Grove City and Upper Arlington’s Arcade Barber Shop, he finally found a home at Nini’s in 1983. Eventually, in 1991, Charlie became co-owner and is proud to have been growing the Nini’s tradition for over 30 years. He thoroughly enjoys working with our skilled barbers in a friendly atmosphere. What does Charlie love most about Nini’s? The friendships that you make over the years and the fact that you have multiple generations of family members even reaching as far back as before the shop moved from High St. to Henderson Rd in 1967.

A lifelong restaurant professional, Briian began his career as a dishwasher and worked his way up through every position, eventually becoming a respected General Manager. After decades of leadership in hospitality, he decided to follow a new passion later in life—trading in menus for clippers. Today, he brings the same dedication, precision, and people-first approach from the restaurant world into his work as a barber, creating a welcoming space where every client feels at home.
