Karho Leung is the founder and co-owner of 12 Pell, a barbershop and event space in Chinatown, New York City. Leung opened the shop in 2018 with the goal of redefining the grooming experience and changing the stigma around blue-collar workers. The shop's name comes from its street address. Leung is a former corporate accountant who was inspired to open 12 Pell after noticing that traditional New York City barbershops were run by older generations and didn't offer a space for younger Asian Americans. He wanted to create a modern, pre-paid, appointment-only experience that would give customers a unique experience and bring business back to the community. 12 Pell has become a social media phenomenon with 2.2 million followers on TikTok and is credited with helping to keep Chinatown afloat during the coronavirus pandemic.
