Do
the words fade, line up, afro, flat top, part, and taper evoke any emotion
in you?
Do the words tradition, craftsman, progression, and respect mean anything
to you?
Well, they mean everything to me.
Barbering is not
just a job to me.
It is my life, my art, my craft, my blood, my sweat, and my tears.
It is who and what I have choosen to be.
My mind is free. My heart is true. My hands are skilled.
I AM A BARBER!
The barbershops
in the black communities of America are so much more than just barbershops.
They are a meeting place.
A place you go every week with dad to get cut up. For your whole life.
A place where everybody goes to find out what is going on that saturday
night.
A place where you can say what you feel like saying.
A place where you can bullshit with doctors, postmen, thugs, pastors,
sport legends, and any other cat who's got they 15 bucks.
It is much more
than a barbershop.
It is a cornerstone of the community.
Nuff respect.
