GFM: What is your favorite old school hair cut?

KEON: The Scumbag, a razor bald faded cut with a pompadour.

GFM: What makes you stand out from any other barber?

KEON: My personality, my character, my beliefs, all of that combined allows me to put feeling into my cuts, so when I do designs they aren't just designs, they come alive.

GFM: Who are some of your favorite clients you've worked with?

KEON: My favorite clients I've worked with, I will have to say everyone of them to be honest, I love every client the same, they all bring me so much life and variety that every time they leave a bit of them stays with me.

GFM: Which styling tools and/or techniques do you use most often?

KEON: Without a doubt my most used styling tool and technique is the straight razor, that razor line, shape, shave is like no other.

GFM: What are some good tips for young people trying to break into the industry?

KEON: To the newcomers, rookies, I would say that your attitude and person will control your ability to attract or push away clientele, patience is the golden ticket you must have patience, and sacrifice is the name of the game. Brand yourself, signify and set yourself apart, but remain a team player, and stay humble at all times no matter how good you get or how popular you become.
