I’m gonna be spamming the shit out of the gram for a hot minute because I genuinely can’t get over the impression Japan left on me. 🇯🇵

The people, the culture, the food, the lights… ahhh, everything. What a life changing experience. Put Japan on your bucket list, book that ticket, you won’t regret it.

Shoutout to my honey @fauxnel for this fire flick of me in front of Sensō-ji Temple in Asakusa. ❤️‍🔥

Some things truly are a pleasant surprise.

I honestly didn’t think I’d be named a finalist in the 2026 @oneshothairawards this was only my fifth submission ever so seeing my work and growth recognized is an incredible feeling.

Whether I take home the award or not, I’m proud of how far I’ve come. Every sacrifice, lesson and long day has been worth it. A reminder to myself and anyone chasing a dream: keep going and aim high. I’m far from a perfect barber but I work hard, I care deeply about my craft and I hope this recognition reflects that.

Thank you to my brother Drake for trusting my vision and letting me use his head as my canvas. Thank you to my mentor John for always pushing me and to my sweetest lady for being my biggest supporter.

Lastly, thank you to @oneshothairawards for creating such an incredible platform for artists around the world. It’s an honor to be recognized among so much talent.

Grateful, humbled and more motivated than ever.

Cheers to the future. 🍻

Found peace in a place I didn’t know I needed. The people, the food, the moments, the feeling of it all. Onomichi gave me something I’ll never forget. 🇯🇵 尾道

I just returned from one of the most memorable and impactful educational trips of my career. One that felt truly cinematic.

Walking through Istanbul, a place I once only dreamed of, then continuing on to Italy left an imprint on my heart that I know will stay with me forever.

Beyond the education, it was the shared moments with my friends and like minded barbers that made this journey unforgettable. Different cultures, different perspectives, one shared hunger to grow.

Growth lives outside of comfort. You’re never too advanced to learn & curiosity is what keeps us alive.

Stay hungry. Stay curious. The time is now.!!

Happy Monday! Be great, stay fresh, and ELEVATE.

Here’s a shot of Stephen rocking a loose brushback with a taper. He’s been a longtime client and friend here in Denver, and I’m truly grateful to have him in my chair.

As always, thank you for looking. 🫶🏻
