It brings me great sadness as I write this. I never wanted to have to be in the position of setting up a second GoFundMe for JP Kempt. The city of San Francisco has prohibited personal services as of Sunday with a minimun closure until January 4th and could be extended for the foreseeable future.
Our first closure was only supposed to last 6 weeks, but after 6 months of being closed we were allowed to get back to work. Although we were open for about two months, business was slow, making just staying open a difficult task. With this new shut down, it is a huge financial burden on all of us. I hope to be able to raise enough money to help keep JP kempt up and running but also be able to provide Health insurance for all of my co workers.
Covid-19 has caused a lot of heart ache for a lot of people and especially small businesses.
Please help us in anyway you can. Please share with your friends and family. Donate 1.00 if thats all you can afford. I am hope this is the last shut down and that there is some hope of normal on the horizon.
Please stay safe. Please wear a mask, please distance so we can get back to doing what we love; making our clients feel good and positive.
Join our GoFundMe Campaign and make a donation or share with your friends.
Thank you all!

J.P. Kempt COVID-19 Relief Fund
As many of you know, owning and operating a small business in San Francisco is already a daunting task on a regular day to day basis. Now with this COVID-19 pandemic a lot of those small business owners are being forced to shut their doors to practice social distancing and all of their employees are being laid off. Being in the service industry, where all of our money is made by client facing, it is an extremely strenuous time for those who work in this industry; however the owners of these businesses are not able to receive the unemployment benefits that employees are, and are still required to pay for bills, rent, utilities, not to mention the income that comes with being able to provide services.
We would like to be able to open our doors when this mandated order is over, but we need the finances to do so. I am asking the community especially those who have received services or enjoyed the socializing of J.P. Kempt to donate what they can to get us through this incredibly terrifying time. Even if all you can do is share with a friend or donate a dollar, any support is greatly appreciated.
Join our Go Fund Me Campaign and make a donation or share with your friends.
Thank you all!

J.P. KEMPT’S STRAIGHT RAZOR SHAVE (LOWER HAIGHT)
Ditch your Mach3 and head to J.P. Kempt, where one soothing swipe of a sharp blade will make you appreciate the luxury of a straight-razor shave. Stylish white-smocked barbers will deftly transform your rugged mug into baby-bottom smoothness. We especially dig the soulful retro setting, which hums with good music and playful banter.
J.P. Kempt Named Best Barbershop of San Francisco
“Shorty Maniace is as close to a celebrity barber as you can get—dubbed one of the best by Esquire, called the “rock and roll” barber by VH1, and featured in GQ—but his lower Haight shop is all neighborhood. Smocked barbers stand in front of old-school chairs and oak vanities as they give hot-lather beard trims ($25), straight razor shaves ($45), and haircuts ($45). The staff are happy to take direction, and even happier to hand you a beer or a whiskey when you walk in the door.”
