I recently had the opportunity to sit down with Todd, a client I have been working with for over 12 years. He is well-known for his creativity and unfiltered conversations, and he is never afraid to stand up for his beliefs. During our conversation, we discussed a variety of topics, including the latest trends in hair services, hair care routines, and what it’s like to live in Los Angeles.

The Essence of Happiness
Todd’s philosophy on happiness sets the tone for our discussion. He emphasizes the importance of finding happiness in life’s intrinsic qualities. He also gives importance to detaching oneself from external influences. It’s a reminder not to tether our happiness to transient aspects like employment, a message that resonates with many.
Hair Care Wisdom
One of the most striking aspects of Todd’s persona is his magnificent head of hair, which he has been cultivating since 2005. During our conversation, he shared some of his hair care secrets. What surprised me the most is that he doesn’t rely on expensive, specialized products. Instead, he advocates that good hair care begins with the fundamentals. This includes staying adequately hydrated and maintaining a healthy diet. According to Todd, the health of your hair is a reflection of what you put into your body, and he’s living proof of this philosophy. Following these straightforward yet practical tips, anyone can maintain healthy and vibrant hair.
Men and Hair Care Routines
Todd shared some great insights about men’s grooming routines during our chat. He emphasized the importance of finding the right barber to achieve the perfect hair and skincare routine. If you feel great after leaving the barber chair, they can definitely offer some tips to help you maintain that fresh look. So, it’s crucial to pay attention to how you feel after leaving the barber chair and take their advice to stay groomed and refreshed.
However, Todd advocates for open dialogue among men regarding their hair and skincare. He believes that men can collectively elevate their grooming game by sharing experiences and recommendations for good barbers and products.
Striving for Excellence in the Barbering Business
Todd’s perspective extends to the business side of barbershops as well. He firmly believes that the price of a haircut should reflect the quality of the experience offered. While he doesn’t mind paying a premium for a haircut, he expects it to be worth every penny. Moreover, Todd suggests that barbers should take an active role in recommending hair products. It should be tailored to their unique needs. They should also understand particular body features of the client when recommending hairstyles. In an era of rising haircut costs, Todd emphasizes ensuring that every aspect of hair care is well taken care of if you’re paying a premium.
Hair Products That Stand Out
Throughout his time growing his locks, Todd has experimented with countless hair products. One brand that has consistently impressed him is Organic Root Stimulator (OLS systems). He swears by its effectiveness, though he cautions that individual hair types can vary significantly. He recommends consulting with an expert and using products in recommended portions to achieve the best results.
Evolving Haircut Prices
Our discussion also delved into the changing landscape of haircut prices. Todd observes that prices have surged in recent years, and he believes these costs should be tied to the quality of the service provided. Clients have a wide array of hair requests, some of which demand more time and effort than others. So, he believes that pricing should be flexible and based on the complexity of the service.
In the world of hair care, Todd’s insights are invaluable. From his fundamental tips for healthy hair to his perspective on men’s grooming and pricing fairness, Todd’s wealth of experience shines through.
