Dalles CUTS HAIR

A little over three years ago, I started my life over.

I was sleeping on my mom’s couch, battling depression after some major life changes.

I started with two clients, two corded clippers, and a chair in someone else’s barbershop.

I had to rebuild myself from the inside out… like Iron Man—using only the parts I could reach.

I made three promises to myself:

• Open my own barbershop.
• Create my own product line.
• Become an author.

Today, every one of those promises has become reality.

Drake said,
“You know it’s real when you are who you think you are.”

That line hits differently now.

I’m beyond grateful, and I’m living proof of God’s power.

God gives all of us the ingredients—but not the dish.

You’ll always be able to eat… provided you’re willing to cook.

To every client who trusted me, believed in the vision, supported the brand, bought a product, shared a post, or sat in my chair…

Thank you.

The goal was never just to cut hair.

The goal was impact.

The Format: Results Aren’t Accidental is available now online.

And my first product, Black Jasper Hair & Body Oil, is available in the shop or online at TheFreshFactoryBarbershop.com.

Stay up.
Stay fresh.
And remember…

Look good.
Smell good.
Think good.

You are the brand. Represent yourself accordingly. 💪🏽

💈New client💈

My barber senses told me it had been at least two months since his last haircut. He didn’t ask for an average cut… and I wasn’t about to give him one.

I got excited because I don’t get to do this style very often. I believe it’s called the South of France—the look Usher Raymond made famous.

As soon as I handed him the mirror, he blinked twice, shook his head, and just stared…

In my head: Crafty hands. 😎

He finally looked up and said,

“Damn…”

That’s the moment I work for.

Knowing I helped set this man’s weekend up with a little more confidence is one of the best parts of what I do.

Sometimes I wish I could travel with my haircuts just to see where they end up. 😂

💈 Advice from high-level barber coach Joel Thompson.

One thing I’ve learned is there’s more than one way to win in this industry.

Some barbers charge $30.Some charge $300.

Some want a packed schedule.Some want fewer clients and more freedom.

The key is knowing what YOU want your life to look like and then building your business to support it.

Set your price. Design your life.

There’s no perfect blueprint, but there is a path that fits your goals, your values, and your vision.

The challenge is getting clear on what you want and then progressively working toward it every day.

65 YEARS LATER… AND TSA STILL HATING 😭✈️

One of my longtime clients has been in a bit of a rut since losing his wife. Over the last few months we’ve spent a lot of time talking, processing, and working through life.

Recently, he decided it was time to get back out there and live a little.

So he booked a trip to attend his 65th High School Reunion.

Yep… 65th.

He got dressed sharp, packed his bags, grabbed his favorite bottle of Maxwell Black Jasper Hair & Body Oil, and headed to the airport ready to smell as good as he looked.

There was just one problem…

TSA wouldn’t let him be great. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Apparently, his 4oz bottle of Black Jasper Oil was one ounce too ambitious for carry-on travel.

CONFISCATED.

Just like that.

Now my man is at the reunion looking fresh from head to toe… but missing the finishing touch.

No smell goods.

No Black Jasper.

No backup plan.

Thankfully, everything worked out, and he still had a great time reconnecting with old friends and making new memories.

But there’s a lesson here:

Don’t leave home without Black Jasper Oil… but if you’re flying, CHECK YOUR BAG.

Because TSA might stop your luggage…

But they don’t have to stop your fragrance. 😎

My son told me he wants to be a barber.

I didn’t talk him into it. In fact, I want him to discover his own path and pursue whatever genuinely interests him.

But I also told him this:

If you’re serious, I’ll give you my blueprint.

Not just how to cut hair.

How to build a career.

How to earn trust.

How to understand people.

How to turn one client into a loyal customer and one loyal customer into a thriving business.

In this video, we talk about:
✅ The power of one client
✅ Building a barber business brick by brick
✅ Developing your technical skills
✅ Understanding the psychology behind the haircut
✅ Why trust is more valuable than talent alone

A haircut is never just a haircut.

It’s communication.
It’s confidence.
It’s service.
It’s psychology.

And if he chooses this profession, I want him to understand the game behind the game.
