A Wahl Worth BuildingWahl Professional has added four new members to its Education and Artistic Team (W.E.A.T.). Reinforcing its commitment to teaching and demonstrating clipper techniques to suit a diversity of clients, Wahl has chosen unique artists from across the country (see below). “Each of them has a unique talent that grabbed my attention,” says Laura VanderMoere, Wahl Professional director of education. “They all possess the passion and dedication to Wahl and to our industry that secured them a position on our team.”
The new recruits will fi nd plenty of inspiration in the company of their 13 established teammates on W.E.A.T.—such as Garland “G-Whiz” Fox, who recently traveled to Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Hong Kong on behalf of Wahl to perform men’s haircutting techniques before appreciative audiences in a series of educational and stage events. “No matter our language, we can all communicate through hair,” Fox says. “Our connection is the love for the industry and for the clippers.”
VanderMoere promises more global appearances in the coming months and years for her team. “This is just the beginning of an international fusion for Wahl Professional Global Education,” she says.

MAN OF INTRIGUEHe isn’t simple or easy to read. These days, it’s
possible for men to have substance and be on trend.
Implemented artfully and with restraint, an ombré look
can give the sophisticated male client the dimension
he desires without distracting the world from the
person he is. “Hair color is huge for men this season,”
says Eufora style director Mirza Batanovic. “Making
a bold statement with a beach-inspired balayage,
for instance, is the perfect way for confi dent men to
emphasize great style.” (Products used: Eufora HERO
for Men Pliable Pomade and Texture Putty)

in my fi rst competition,” he laughs. Not willing
to admit defeat, however, Vaughn tried again.
He went on to win more than 25 awards in
male hairstyling, and in 1993 he became the
fi rst African American to win the National
Cosmetology Association Award.
One day, Vaughn and his fellow Atlanta
stylists were invited to do makeovers for
various artists on LaFace Records. “My artist
was the group called After 7,” Vaughn says.
“I changed their look that day, and they
wanted me to do their hair from that point
on.” The group soon began fl ying Vaughn all
over the country, and eventually asked if he
would consider moving to Los Angeles.
In the years since, Vaughn has catered to
the likes of Muhammad Ali, Damon Wayans,
Maya Angelou and Matthew
McConaughey, among
many others. As The
Beverly Hills Barber, he
teaches classes around
the world and also holds
the role of international
ambassador for Oster
Professional Products. On
his list of must-haves from the
brand are the Titan Classic
76 and Tailor T Finisher—but it’s the new
Octane heavy-duty clipper that currently has
him, well, buzzing. “I love that clipper and I
use it a lot,” he says.
Vaughn plans to continue shaping the future
of the industry, encouraging barbers and
stylists to deliver high-quality, high-class and
high-end services.

“You don’t have to live and work in Beverly Hills to be a Beverly Hills Barber,” Vaughn points out. “You simply have to elevate your professionalism.”
Staying cool in the South Texas heat
isn’t always easy—but Flawless Barber Shop
(fl awlessbarbershopcc.com) does its part.
Not only is every customer greeted with a
complimentary ice-cold beer (if they’re of
drinking age, of course), but the shop’s most
popular cut is a close-cropped Bald Fade, says
owner Rick Morin. The 1,600-square-foot
space—a converted house, complete with front
porch and original mid-century hardwood
fl oors—is equally cool in a different way. “The
look is very simple and sleek,” Morin notes. “I
wanted to make sure Flawless had a ‘home’ feel
to it that would be welcoming to customers.”
(The fi ve fl at-screen TVs adds to the appeal.)
Although the goal is to give men a grooming
space devoid of female frills and salon-style
fl ourishes, Flawless does provide a bit of
unexpected pampering, notes Morin. “After
every haircut, we perform a mini-facial
along with a shampoo. Then we style the
hair to fi nish the service,” Morin says. “Most
barbershops don’t offer those extras.”
Morin cultivated his attention to detail
over many years. He began cutting hair in his
high school days and became known as “Da
People’s Barber.” After serving six years in the
U.S. Army (yes, he wielded clippers to buzz his
barracks buddies), he attended barber college,
received his Texas state license and opened
Flawless Barber Shop in January of 2008 with
just three barbers on staff. Today, there are
nine, including Morin.
Specializing in straight-razor shaves and a
wide range of men’s hairstyles, Flawless also
carries its own line of grooming products sold
exclusively at the shop. Morin is passionate
about education as well as Wahl tools, and is a
member of the company’s Education & Artistic
Team (W.E.A.T.) as well as the creator of the
Flawless Barber Techniques DVD (available on
Amazon), which offers instruction on the basics
of clipper cutting.
With these credentials, it’s no wonder that
Morin is considered one of the top barbers in
the country. However, he might be prouder of
having been dubbed “the
nicest barber ever” by
one 5-year-old customer,
and the purveyor of “the
best haircut I ever had”
by a fi rst-time patron and
military veteran who had
lived in multiple countries
and all over the U.S.
“Our slogan is ‘WE THE
BEST’,” he says, “and
we have a ton of loyal
customers in the Corpus
Christi area who would
attest to this.”
