98: From Chair to Shop Owner: A Guide To Opening Your First Barbershop w/ Blade Cut & Sid Da Barber
Update: 2025-10-16
Description
Anthony Laban is in Bellingham with new shop owners Blade Cut and Sid Da Barber (Lewis Gumbrell) to discuss the intense reality of running your first bricks-and-mortar business…
They focus on two core themes: experience and adaptation. Blade & Sid reveal why years of hustle, education and competition were essential before they were ready to take the financial plunge. Most critically, they stress that the modern barber must be a hybrid - mastering all hair types and evolving the barbershop into a community hub and safe space. This is the only way to build a sustainable business that genuinely beats burnout.
