Still crazy to me how far this industry can take you when you stay locked in and keep showing up. Grateful to be surrounded by so many talented barbers, creators, educators, and people chasing the same vision.
Beyond thankful for the people closest to me who support me every step of the way. Having a spouse that believes in me day in and day out means more than words can explain. To be part of the Faded University family is something I’ll never take for granted.
The future is looking bigger and brighter than ever. We’re just getting started. 💈🖤
Shout out to for always coming through with the best products for hair and mustache styling!! 🔥

Nothing extra.No enhancements. No shortcuts.
Just patience, precision, and respect for the craft. 💈
I want every client to leave looking like the best version of themselves. Not filtered. Not painted on. Clean work speaks for itself. 🤝
Big shoutout to Marquise Martin and the whole crew at for always showing up and giving us the tools to succeed. The lessons on proper haircuts, line work, professionalism, and attention to detail are unmatched. Blessed to learn from some real ones.
Also shoutout to for always coming through with some of the best beard products in the game.

Fun one today, my coworker grew it out just so I could clean him up right.
Took it back to skin, brought that clean look back.
Threw a little extra on top with the braid.
Let’s get to work. ✂️🔥

Cleaned bro up real quick 💈
He came in grown out, just brought everything back to life. Kept the curls, tightened the sides, got him lined up and the beard right.
Nothing extra, just a solid clean up. That’s the goal every time.
Tap in 🤝

Station set.
Mind right.
I respect this craft too much to rush it.
Precision over everything.
Come sit in the chair.
Let’s get it done the right way.

An older veteran tipped me this dollar today.
As a veteran myself, that meant something.
Behind this chair I meet every walk of life — different stories, different generations.
But this one hit different.
The generation before us paved the way.
Now I get to stand on that foundation.
Not just as a veteran, but as a barber.
Serving my community.
Building something solid.
And paving the way for the next generation the same way it was done for us.
Respect always. 🇺🇸

You can’t be a master without being a student first.
Be a sponge.
Soak up every lesson.
Check your ego at the door.
You don’t know everything
but you can learn anything.

Every step in this barber journey has been about growth, perfecting my craft, building connections, and leveling up the experience I give in my chair.
I’m excited to take the next step by bringing in products I truly stand behind and use myself, Death Grip Wax and The Vintage Grooming Company. These aren’t just products on a shelf, they’re part of the standard.
Now I can give my clients the same quality, hold, and style I trust for my own hair and mustache.
We’re just getting started. Big things coming, and I appreciate everyone rocking with me. 💈🔥

There’s something about setting up the station that never gets old. Fresh tools lined up, everything dialed in, ready for the day ahead. It’s easily one of the best parts of what I do.
Every day brings new faces, new conversations, and the chance to catch up with the ones who’ve been rocking with me for a minute. That mix of meeting new people and reconnecting with my regulars, that’s the real win.
