The O. K. Barber Shop was a 2,700 square foot barber shop with 20 chairs located at 217 20th Street North. It was operated in the early 1900s by Picard & Eckert, who also owned the Woodward Barber Shop two blocks south.
The O. K. Barber shop billed itself as the "third largest shop in the world" and employed "twenty skilled white barbers" as well as seven boot blacks. The shop was ventilated with powerful exhaust fans and offered six tub baths and three shower baths to customers.
