Barbershop

Studying at the American Beauty Academy in Maryland not only honed my business skills but also marked a turning point where I could offer mentorship to others. As the manager of a prestigious salon, I managed a team and gained invaluable experience. However, driven by the desire to create my own space, I opened my first barbershop in Norwalk in 2011, with a second following in 2012. My commitment to diversity, flexible hours, and a customer-centric approach has defined the ethos of my shops. Today, I take pride in the success of my barbershops and the apprenticeship program, knowing that I've played a role in helping others support their families.

In my shops, we embrace a forward-thinking, customer-friendly atmosphere, open seven days a week with flexible hours to cater to our community's needs. I believe in the power of teamwork and respect, fostering an environment where everyone contributes and shares knowledge. Promoting a positive experience, I've always relied on word of mouth, and my motto remains: I walk through life with an open heart and open hands. Join us at "our" shop, where you'll undoubtedly feel the difference.

As recognized by Darnell D. Crosland, Zack's lawyer and NAACP President for the Norwalk Branch, our commitment extends beyond the shop. Together, we've championed bills to bring unlicensed barbers into compliance, ensuring a safe and regulated environment for everyone in Connecticut. This journey is not just about making an honest living; it's about making an honest and impactful difference in the lives of those we touch.
