Columbus barbershop owner will be contestant on newest season of ‘Survivor’

Matthew Grinstead-Mayle is heading from urban barbershop to tropical wilderness.

That’s because the Pickerington native is one of 18 individuals who will be featured on season 44 of the hit show “Survivor.”

Grinstead-Mayle co-owns Goodfellows Tonsorial Parlor in the Brewery District. The shop opened in the fall of 2016.

In a media release, Matthew Grinstead-Mayle admitted that the change from his High Street store to the “Survivor” set is something he’s still adjusting to.

“I’m just trying to figure out what’s going on right now,” Grinstead-Mayle said. “I don’t even know. The anxiety is so high. So, I’m sure I should be fearful, but I’m not there yet. I’m just trying to take deep breaths and just try to hold it all in because if I don’t, I feel like my heart is just going to plop right here and just make a mess out of everybody here in the front row.”

Season 44 of “Survivor” airs on March 1.
