On January 1, 2023, I began barber school with zero experience and training on how to cut hair with intention. I was determined to create another pathway through a trade (skills) that would help support my family and challenge me in exciting ways as an artist and thinker. With patience and compassion, barbering became a form of meditation that requires me to stay connected with my body (presence) to provide a high standard of care for others (service).
July 2024, I secured a barber’s licensed in Virginia after passing the state board exams. The art of barbering is so heavily reliant on your understanding of human anatomy, ability to read hair, fading / cutting methods, and your relationships with the instruments used. I look forward to sharing my journey as a barber.
