Testimonials & Partners

Trusted by barbers, schools and brands, here’s what partners and participants say.

The Barber Custom Cutz – Pickering

Best place in Durham to get a haircut, as a barber that worked here for many years, I can say that the owner Bucky is a good dude & always makes sure to have a team of amazing barbers on his staff. If you're in Pickering there’s no better place to get a haircut & great vibes. Keep killing it guys 🙏💚

Simon Custom Cutz – Whitby

Custom Cutz did an excellent job and spent time making sure everything was even and neat. Reggae music makes the already great cut more enjoyable.

Marinho1 123 Custom Hair Clinic

I was a little bit nervous at first about getting my SMP but Shawn gave me the confidence and I’m so happy that I made this decision. I feel like myself again! Thanks again and I recommend this service to anyone with thinning hair.

Mekela Essential Manual to Owning a Barbershop

The Essential Manual is more than just your regular “how to” book. Shawn offers a level of transparency that most would be hesitant to tap into. As someone who normally reads physical copies of books, I enjoyed listening to the audio book to hear the passion behind his story and his experiences. Shawn does a great job of humanizing any Owner or Entrepreneur. His openness about the complexities and nuances that go into taking on such a responsibility and executing it at a high level makes me appreciate the journey even more! I am so proud I will be purchasing a hard copy for my own learning and inspiration! It’s definitely a must-have! Writing Well Done 👏🏾 🙌🏾
