BarberShop Talk

It already had the basic structure of a network: recurring attention, recognizable voices, live response, and information that traveled beyond the room.

Celebrity barbering sits at the intersection of several things millennials have been told to pursue at once: independence, entrepreneurship, culture, flexible work, and personal branding.
