Now he's got a new spot, his own spot, and I couldn't be happier for him. He's a mogul in the making. As far as barbers are concerned, this is appointment only so right now you'll have to DM the IG page. They've only been open for 10 days so they're still in the process of settling in. But if you can score an appointment with Alex go for it. He's the top of the pyramid. His brother Etchy is also there and is very skillful as well. Next door is a hair braiding salon that does phenomenal work and are nothing but professional. I know I sound like I'm gushing, because I am. Like I said, I can't be happier that my boy finally made it. Mogul in the making...
