Things will never be the same again for Jason’s Barber Shop owner Dean Fox.Less than a week after the brutal gangland murder of Joshua Robinson, Mr Fox is back open for business, but his customers will soon have to go through a rigourous security process just to get a haircut.Surveillance cameras, a door with an electronic buzzer and a heightened sense of awareness will all operate at the shop, which has been open in its North Shore location for the past 20 years.“There are some of our clients who are apprehensive about their safety, but this could have happened anywhere — any business which caters to the public at large is at risk,” said Mr Fox.“This could have taken place at a laundromat or a restaurant. Nothing like this has ever happened in the entire history of our business, or even come close.”However, the bloodshed that shocked the Island on Saturday doesn’t seem to have adversely affected Mr Fox’s customers. A steady stream have come to the store since it re-opened on Tuesday, and the businessman expressed gratitude to his clients “who have already demonstrated that they are not going to be intimidated by this incident”.Among those showing solidarity with Mr Fox were Jonathan Howes, the CEO of Bermuda Press (Holdings) Limited, and Jamie Cann, production manger for The Royal Gazette.“It is important that the community understands that, despite the tragic event of last Saturday, Jason’s Barber Shop is still open for business,” said Mr Howes.Mr Cann added: “I will continue to support Jason’s Barbershop to maintain my professional dress. I have always supported local businesses professionally and personally. As a young Bermudian Executive I believe by doing this I will be setting an example for my young Bermudian people.”Grateful for the support he is receiving from the public, Mr Fox is also resigned to the fact that the security changes he will be making to his business are necessary not only for his customers, but his staff as well.“Unfortunately, because of what’s happened, we feel it’s necessary now to take proper precautions to protect ourselves as employees, as well as protect our clients,” he said. “We are not going to continue operating if it’s a risk to ourselves or our customers.“We are now in the process of installing an electronic buzzer on the door, as well as surveillance cameras to identify all those entering the barber shop. As of now, we are physically letting people into the shop, but they have to remove their helmets or hoodies or anything else which would obscure their identity.“This will prevent anyone with bad intent from simply walking into the shop. We plan on doing everything in our power to ensure that Jason’s is a safe environment, as it has been for the past 20 years, despite this tragic incident, which could not have been foreseen.”For now Mr Fox is counting on his loyal client base, who even got him to re-open earlier than he had been expecting to do so.“They [customers] do realise that this was a random occurrence,” he said. “We have had our clients’ support from the time we opened on Tuesday, we weren’t even going to open that day,” he said.The plan was to meet at the shop to discuss how best to “implement procedures to ensure safety at the shop”. “But clients started to turn up,” said Mr Fox.“They said they had come to pay their respects, but also wanted a haircut. Some of them were parents with their children.”Mr Fox stressed that he is “in no way making light of this terrible loss of a young life”. “Our hearts and prayers go out to the family of Mr Robinson,” he said. “The staff at the shop have personally expressed their condolences to the family of Mr Robinson.”Meanwhile, the appeal continues by police for public assistance on the Serious Crime Unit investigation into the second gun murder committed in Bermuda this year.
