What's good family!?!? This week we have Las Vegas' very own celebrity barber Dame Kutz (Damien Rivera) on the pod. Dame broke down being born and growing up in Camden, New Jersey (right across the river from Philadelphia) and how he became a celebrity barber.
We started off learning about his early mentors while working at a barber shop in high school, getting in trouble a lot, getting kicked out of the JROTC program at school, and how his mom got him his very first barber set up. After practicing and practicing Dame then went on to win various barber competitions and eventually ended up moving out west to Las Vegas.
Once in Vegas, after debating whether or not to move back to New Jersey, Dame got a DM by one James Baker (better known as BlocBoy JB) as his first celebrity client. Dame then went on to cut or be associated with celebrities from rappers and NFL players to boxers and social media influencers.
Whether you're an up and coming barber who dreams of breaking in to the celebrity world or you just want to hear a helluva story, this episode is a BANGER! Hit play!
