The Journey Behind the Chair
CHRIS
[FOUNDER & CEO]
Chris is the visionary behind one of the Southeast’s most respected barbershop brands, with a career that spans more than 30 years. His story began in Florida, where barbering wasn’t just a trade, it was his passion and his calling. After mastering his craft and building a reputation for precision and professionalism, he brought that passion to Georgia and opened his first shop.
That shop became CuttingKings, the flagship brand that started with Chris as the only barber and grew into a powerhouse location with more than 18 barbers. Nearly two decades later, CuttingKings stands as a community staple known for quality, consistency, and a signature customer experience.
Today, Chris has expanded the brand to five locations, including four inside Walmart stores, extending his commitment to accessible, high‑quality grooming. Across every shop, he has hired, trained, and mentored dozens of barbers, shaping a culture rooted in excellence, opportunity, and respect for the craft.
Chris credits his success to the talented barbers who represent the brand every day. As he invested in their growth, they helped elevate CuttingKings into the trusted name it is now. He remains hands‑on, working seven days a week and delivering expert cuts for all hair types and ethnicities, ensuring every location reflects the family‑friendly, inclusive environment that defines the CuttingKings brand.
