1. What's your guilty pleasure song that you can't help but sing along to when no one's watching?

That’s easy… Celine Dion - My heart will go on for sure.

2. If you could give a haircut to any celebrity, who would it be and why?

I'd love to give a haircut to Drake. It would be interesting to see how a fresh style might reflect his evolving artistry and I heard he pays well hahaha.

3. What's the most unexpected thing you've learned from your clients?

I've learned a lot about personal history through my clients. Their stories often include incredible experiences from different eras, and hearing their perspectives has deepened my understanding of the world.

4. If you were a hairstyle, what would you be and why? 

I’d be a shaved head! It’s sleek, simple, and exudes confidence just like me!

5. What's your go-to comfort food after a long day at the barbershop?

After a long day at the barbershop, El Jannah is my comfort food of choice. That grilled chicken and garlic sauce are unbeatable. Are we truely friends of you haven’t had it before?

6. How do you unwind and recharge your mental health after a busy day? 

I take an extra 5-10 minutes at the end of the day to reflect on everything that happened. It helps me process my thoughts and leave work feeling refreshed and ready for home…. Well sometimes. Just ask my partner lol.

7. What’s one secret talent you have that would surprise your clients? 

Not really sure, maybe my “memory” even the finer details of something or an experience. Oh I can cook a pretty damn good chicken pesto pasta!

8. What's the best piece of advice you've ever received that you live by?

"Always be yourself; everyone else is already taken." It’s a reminder to embrace my uniqueness and authenticity.

9. If you could create your own fragrance, what would it smell like and what would you name it?

If I could create my own fragrance, it would be a blend of sandalwood and fresh citrus, named "Energizing Calm." It would evoke feelings of both tranquility and revitalization.

6.What got you into barbering?

One of the big things that got me into barbering was making men feel better about themselves. Men don't have a lot in life to make us feel better besides a haircut every few weeks to a month that's why I love my craft making other people feel 100% about themselves giving them the confidence to conquer there lives.
