Hi, I’m Janine Moran. My family moved to Portsmouth when I was 10 years old, and I’ve been a “local” ever since. After graduating from Portsmouth High School,  not having much of a plan, I decided to go to Barber School as something to keep me busy until I figured out what I really wanted to do. 

I graduated from the NH Barber College in September of 1985 with a Master Barber certificate. Two days later I began working at the Clip Joint. 

Flash forward to 2020, and I’ve just celebrated 35 years of being a barber. It’s been more interesting and rewarding than I could ever have imagined when I arrived at barber school on Election Day, 1984. And to this day, I’ve never found anything that I’ve wanted to do more than barbering. 

Now, after 35 years with my Clip Joint family (and years of dreaming of having my own shop), I have opened a shop at my home, specializing in haircuts for men, boys, and families. I hope you’ll come along on this new adventure with me.
