Best barber that I ever experienced with a solid cut in the DMV
The think with him that I liked the most was the fact that I asked him to free style and he understood the assignment. I’m very much satisfied with my results. I came with no idea in mind and I’m coming out fresh and beautiful. I know ginger is my color!!! I know you know too!! Thanks Akim!
