Client Spotlight: Deedee the Barber
To celebrate her 47th birthday and promote her business, Deedee the Barber decided to reward herself by reserving space on a billboard.
Deedee attended barber school in Dayton, Ohio, where she got her license in just ten months, and was determined to make it count.
She has been a barber for the past 17 years, and is a mother of three grown children. Originally from Chicago, she moved to Georgia last year.
Becoming a barber was a childhood dream of hers, and she feels that it’s an honor when people depend on her to make them look good.
Deedee the Barber cuts all types of hair and doesn’t have a particularly favorite style to do, but she does specialize in children’s cuts.
“I love to show young men how to take care of themselves and always want to stay groomed and looking handsome,” she said. “It’s [an] honor for people to wear my cuts and I know I’m part of the reason for their smile.”
One of the most pivotal moments in her career was reaching 15 years of being a barber entrepreneur as a black woman.
