  Throughout history, the role of the barber has included many things – shaver, hair cutter, surgeon, dentist.

The hum of clippers echoes throughout the room. Jay Organez swoops a crisp cape across my shoulders and grabs a pick, combing it through my hair as I describe my go-to cut: a little off the top with a shadow fade on the sides.

Posted by Team John Paul Mitchell Systems on Feb 3rd 2016 We recently sat down with traditional barber (and partner in marriage with our Director of Color Education Jamie Anderbery-Stout) Michael Stout to learn more about his craft. Here he explains the art of barbering and why that gent behind the chair is so much more than someone who cuts your hair every few weeks. Take it away, Michael. Barber. What does that word mean to you? Something? Nothing? For a select few╌for a small percentage of this driving work force that gets us up and out of bed everyday╌it...
