“it was an opportunity that turned into passion…now I am cutting the best player in the NBA”
Last weekend we got to sit down with Danny "watchmykix”, owner and hairstylist at Expensive Habits barbershop. He talked about how his love for barbering came early in his career and how even 13 years later he could not imagine himself doing anything else. As a kid he gravitated towards drawing, inspired by Dragon Ball Z characters & shoes the skill came natural to him. With similar principles the art of barbering came easy to him as well and it soon would become his life. Taking pride in his work and focusing on being consistent with every cut he would gain clients like Kawhi Leonard. Two guys who grew up in the same city (Riverside,CA) become stars in their own respective fields.
if your barber doesn’t use gold clippers what are they doing?
interview
What inspired you?
To be honest I wasn’t really inspired by anything, I was approached by one of my friends with the idea of barber school. At that point in my life I didn’t have anything else going for me i just knew I didn’t want to be a bum lol...so I went all in on this barbering thing.
What advice do you have for aspiring barbers/artist?
My advice for upcoming barbers & artist is to get stuck in the grind, always invest in yourself & strive to get better everyday!
