I have been wanting a this haircut for a few years and I kept putting it off because so many people advised against it.

But guess what? Life is too short to be worrying about what anyone else thinks.

Plus hair grows back! Why not have fun with it while you’ve got it 🤘

Not going to lie, I crashed out a couple times during the process, I get hella sensory overload when it comes to clippers (that’s why most of my cuts are scissor / razor)

Which bring me to my next point:
I see a lot of guys wanting mod cuts, wolf cuts, shags…
These are not typically barber haircuts, most barbers use clippers dang near exclusively, not always a good idea to ask for a scissor / razor cut.
I highly recommend going to a salon instead.
And vice versa -most hairstylists in a salon don’t offer clippers cuts.

If you are having a creative block, want to try something new but not sure what to do- I offer free vision mapping consultations where we get in depth and talk about options that would suit your features and lifestyle best.

If you’re curious about the details of my cut it is a
Bi-Hawk Mullet, with UV reactive blacklight haircolor and a crop circle hair tattoo on top 👽🛸✨

The only limit to your Frankenstein fusion is your imagination 🌈🖤

I have tons of amazing colors, cuts, and makeup to share with yall, but in all honesty I have not been kind to myself and overworking has left me with no time for work life balance let alone content creation 🥲

Over the course of 2025 and up until now in March 2026 I found myself stretching too thin for 12-18 hour days with one day off a week if I’m lucky.

To avoid a crash and burn out I will be changing my hours to protect my mental health so that I can continue to create with you! ✨

The new schedule will go into effect in May since April is nearly entirely booked.

I recommend utilizing my booking link as I often may not see your message in a timely manner due to my inbox stacking up daily. I do my best to get back to everyone within 24-48 hours. If you have not received a response from me I encourage you to send another message to bump your convo to the top.

any trouble self booking or don’t see the specific time and day you need? - please reach out and I’ll do my best to accommodate.

I love sharing these moments with you, I haven’t posted in awhile because I’ve just been way too busy, consider this me emerging from my cave.

Some days you come in and I’m really chatty other days I’m more quiet.

Despite my ups and downs I love what I do, it helps me get out of my head, I throw myself into my work.

I enjoy the time I spend with each client in my chair, I consider myself very privileged to be able to decide who can enter my space, it’s important for me to keep an environment that feels comfortable, fun, welcoming.

We all carry energy with us, constantly releasing and absorbing from those around us. That’s why it’s so important to surround yourself with people who nourish your spirit.

That’s exactly my goal, give you a space you can fully relax, be your true self, and leave feeling lifted.

I’m just a little guy, I go through my own struggles and emotions, but creating is my safe space and I feel so lucky to be able to invite others into my creative process.

So many cool alt cuts and colors, makeup and photoshoots I’ve been working on! You’re also going to be seeing me at more local Bakersfield events, especially involved with our lgbtq community! My next event is the Resource Fair on Saturday at
