What inspired you to become a barber?

I met a guy named Nate,  he was in the military. He would come cut the kids in the neighborhood hair for free. I was inspired by him.

Tell us about your experience when you were in barber school.

While  attending barber school I had a bootleg barber shop at home. My instructor told me I was good at cutting hair but it was other things like professionalism , dependability, cleanliness  The importance of  consistent,  being punctual, Greeting clients, the importance on how to speak to clients, stamina, posture taking proper breaks. He said I know how to cut hair but these things will make you a great barber.
