Summary
Ive been a master barber for over 15 years with close to 20 years of experience , as mentioned before ive had the experience in owning and running barbershops and business from a young age which never slowed down my hustle or work ethic. I stay humble. Ive worked in the hood and around certain types of shops that id prefer to stay away from and focus on my career and be in a more professional enviroment. I got into some trouble in 2018 which caused me to close my barbershop and it was for something i had absolutely nothing to do with but jus because the people i was hanging with and places i was hanging at and it served me a great lesson and wake up call that it was time to wake up n start focusing on myself my career my family and didnt need to be out at the clubs every night and im a better person today because of it and wont look back.
I used to cut alot of patriot players , Andre drummond some nba guys, i actually once turned down darrell revis on a saturday because i didnt think it was fair to cancel 10+ pre booked appointments with my clients that come to me every week jus to go cut revis i think that says something to my character and it wasnt a smart move financially either.

- Highly experienced and versatile barber, confident taking on any style or clients request, yet humble and recognize theres room to learn something new everyday
- Talented hard working and focused on keeping a balanced skillset to master my craft in every corner of the industry
- Barber client relationships, mood, energy and shop etiquette is just as important and the quality of the cut , you cant simply rely on talent nor can you rely on personality alone

Fresh out of barber school opened up a 6 chair high end barbershop with pool table couches and we went a little all out luckily i was blessed with a solid crew of barbers for a while and over the years i had 12 barbers rbat worked for me move on to opening there own shops and supported them and helped them anyway i could
My partner didnt cut hair and wasnt to involved so i was really thrown to the wolves early on while still working on my own barber skills but i worked my ass off for 12 hours a day basically 7 days a week and learned early on that without hard work youll go nowhere in this industry

We opened a second shop in saugus same style and we were successful and busy although we leased a huge store with the intentions of it being half tattoo parlor but the town wouldnt let us open a tattoo parlor and finding enough good barbers to fill the place was difficult for us to maintain it as a smart buisness move and eventually got out of the lease
