How Long Have You Been In Business: I opened the business Nov. 5, 2013.

What Is Your Experience/Business Background: I have been cutting hair for five years and previously worked at Roy's Barber Shop along with Mike who now works here at The Corner Barber Shop with me.

What Is Your Business Philosophy?: I don't really have a philosophy but I have been told sky is the limit and always try to better myself and the people around me.

What Is Your Favorite Part Of Your Job?: My favorite part of my job is getting to talk to different people all day and hear their stories. It never feels like work when your cutting hair and everyones having a big conversation, laughing, talking sports and all types of things.

What Are The Biggest Challenges You Face?: The biggest challenges I face I guess I will find out haha. Only being open for two days, I guess the biggest challenge right now is spreading the word and trying to let everyone know that we are here and open.

What Makes Your Business Unique In Your Industry?: I'm not sure what makes my business unique in the industry. I guess maybe all the different style cuts that we can do here. And we offer a hot towel shave which isn't offered at too many barber shops around here anymore.

What Is The Most Unusual Experience You’ve Had With a Client/Customer? The most unusual experience I have had with a customer might be when one of my friends came in with a full head of hair and asked me to shave a lizard into his head.
