Not Just a Barber I am a 30 year old barber-stylist born and raised in Atlanta, GA. My passion is hair. My goal is to bring creativity, excitement, and entertainment to the hair industry. For the past 14 years, I have been making a name for myself in the hair industry. I've gone from cutting my classmates hair in the kitchen in 1993, to opening my own salon in 2002. I started cutting hair in my parent's basement at the age of 13. After high school, I honed my skills at Samverly Barber Styling School where I won second place in a student competition after only being in school for two weeks. That's when I realized that I had a special talent, and it was then that I decided to focus on competing in international hair shows. I consider hair shows to be a way not only to showcase your techniques, but also a way to polish your skills. I have won several awards including: Oster Golden Clipper Award (2004), Bronner Brothers Best Man Competition-1st Place (2001), Best Barber in Atlanta-2nd Place (1999), Bronner Bros. King Royale-Top Ten (1999), Fastest Barber in Atlanta-1st Place (1998), All About Hair-2nd Place (1997), and Atlanta's Finest-2nd Place (1996). The unbelievable recognition I received motivated me to keep perfecting new styles and to compete with stylist from all over country. I have been competing in hair shows for the past 8 years. I have worked in several different hair salons and barber shops throughout the city of Atlanta and managed my own salon for 2 years. At each of these shops, I set the standard for other barbers to follow. I quickly gained a large clientele that remained loyal because of my creative and unique hair designs. Outside of just working in the salon, I am actively involved in the hair industry. I have worked as a platform artist for Wahl Clippers, and Ampro Gel Industries; as an educator for Revlon Professional and Bronner Brothers. I was the featured stylist for Soft Sheen Carson at the 1st Annual Vibe Music Fest and for the Michael Vick shoe release promotional event sponsored by NIKE. My work has been featured in Salon Sense Magazine and Barbers Only Magazine. I also offer classes independently to stylists and barbers interested in capturing the distinctive flair I bring to the hair industry. In my spare time I enjoy doing things that keep my creative juices flowing like, modeling and making music. My love for hip hop prompted me to create my own song and music video that fuses the world of entertainment together with the art of styling hair. My profession has allowed me the opportunity to service several celebrities in the world of sports and entertainment like: Shaquille O'Neal, Michael Irvin, Alan Iverson, 112, the Ying Yang Twins, and Idris Elba. Despite all the awards I've won and celebrities I've met, I am most proud of the time I spend giving back to the community. It's my way of saying thank you to all my loyal customers and also to encourage those who have been blessed to share their blessings with someone less fortunate. I have worked with the Hosea Williams Feed the Homeless program every year since 1997. Every Thanksgiving, Christmas, and King Holiday, I volunteer to cut and style hair for homeless and underprivileged people. After they receive a good meal and clean clothes, we give them a new image. It is my belief that your hair creates the foundation for self-esteem. One of my biggest joys is seeing them get out of the chair feeling and looking better than they did when they came in. My greatest inspiration has come from my family. They have supported me since I was young and instilled confidence in me. I have a special interest in children and I try to be a role model for my nieces and nephews. I often bring them along with me to the hair competitions to show them that you can be successful and gain recognition for doing something positive. I want them to grow up and become leaders and role models themselves. I try to encourage and inspire young people to find their special talents and become the best at what they do. I feel like I have accomplished my goal when I see a young person get excited about cutting hair and tell me I'm the reason they want to become a barber when they grow up.
