Barbering Experience:
I’ve been a barber for 13 years; 7 years as the owner of Details Barbershop
Grooming Tip: A
grooming tip specifically for men who shave their heads is to shave consistently.
Shaving on a regular schedule encourages a consistent growth pattern. This
helps reduce irritation because the scalp becomes accustomed to the shaving
routine. When you shave your head, you shouldn't let it grow out too much
because it looks sloppy. I personally shave my head every other day. Another
grooming tip is to use Aloe Vera, preferably directly from the plant. Aloe reduces irritation, treats blemishes,
moisturizes and relieves ingrown hairs, especially for men of color.
Favorite DomeCare Solutions
Product: Dome Shine-Absorbing Anti-Aging Finishing Serum is my favorite
product to use personally and on clients. It makes a shaved head feel satiny
smooth, and you can feel the difference in the health of the scalp. The Dome Shave Gel is another favorite. I like using the Dome Shave Gel on my clients because
it’s clear and I can see exactly where I’m shaving. A small amount of Shave Gel
goes a long way; it doesn’t clog the razor and it’s clean. You can’t see
through traditional shave creams so there is room for error and they can be
messy. Many of my clients work nearby in the Financial District & Union
Square; they come to my shop for shaves and haircuts on their lunch breaks. My
clients need to leave my chair fresh and clean to go back to work.

Dorco blades.
