    I haven’t stepped foot in a barbershop since I was probably 16-17 years old. I used to be in them every week. I started cutting my hair around that time as a hobby and as a way to save some money. Fast forward 10 years - I’m 28 now and it suddenly dawned on me one day that I can’t see myself happy doing anything else. Starting barber school in a month and have never felt happier and more excited for something. Love your videos man. Thanks for the inspiration.

    I have been a Master Barber for 36 years. Nice to see Young Barbers on the Rise. But I will Suggest an Old School Barber Smock. I Don’t Know If you are Cooking Fish or Waiting Tables.
