In this episode, I sat down with American Barber Institute Teacher Harold Barkim Brown. Harold’s enthusiasm for barbering radiates through his instruction at ABI.

On the practical side, he teaches about all aspects of haircutting. On the social side, he teaches about barber etiquette—which he deems just as important (if not more) as being good at cutting hair.

The Queens native asserts that any barber with a hefty dose of haircutting skills and professionalism is unstoppable—just as he is.
