I was amazed, not because of how I learned but how good the haircut was. I even gave him a crisp lineup.  I tend to pick up tasks easy so I literally took a picture of his haircut and started “Craig’s Cuts” the next day. Looking back, I remembered initially charging $3.00 per haircut…then $5…to finally $10 and $2 extra if I had to wash your hair first.

Business (cutting hair) was good… I would cut hair until 3am most nights. At the time, Bursley was one of the largest dormitory in the US and there were only 2 people cutting hair. My friend handled the west end, and I handed the east end. I obviously graduated to better clippers and FYI, the story about my Wahl Clipper that I’ve had for over 25 years is true. I cut every nationality and I was known for cutting hair better than their own barber back home. I even remember a girl showing up to my door asking me to cut all her hair off!! I’ll never forget that the next day her dad showed up to my dorm room to pretend intimidate me and then shook my hand. LOL. And what’s so funny, is how I learned to cut hair. I’m so thankful that Mike taught me that day.
