Our Story
James, an Arizona native, is a passionate outdoorsman who loves fishing, hiking, exploring, and camping. From Lake Pleasant, where he honed his fishing skills growing up, to the east fork of the Black River in Greer, James has cast his line into nearly every body of water across the state. Whenever he gets the chance, you'll find him kayaking and fishing at Canyon or Saguaro Lake. His true calling is hiking through the serene pine forests of Northern Arizona to fish in remote locations, seeking species like Northern Pike, rainbow, brown, cutthroat, and the unique Apache trout found only in Arizona. Beyond the outdoors, James has a green thumb, tending to his garden of flowers, herbs, fruits, and vegetables. He also enjoys building nitro-powered 4x4 RC trucks and gaming. As a teenager, James showcased his barbering talents, cutting hair for family, friends, and his dad from the age of 14. His passion for barbering blossomed, leading him to transition from Northern Arizona University to Arizona State University, and finally to barber college, where he pursued his dream. Now, with over a decade of professional experience, James offers a wide range of haircuts and styles—from skin fades and razor fades to Mohawks and classic scissor cuts. Whatever the color or density of hair, James is the barber you can rely on. He specializes in grooming beards and proudly helped a client win "Best Groomed Natural Beard in the Western United States" in 2021. James firmly believes that when you love what you do, it never feels like work. Every day, he brings passion and expertise to each client, whether they're young or old, ensuring their haircut or style ideas come to life.
