The Adventures of Dapper Kid- GA Thanksgiving Film Festival 2015 short #1

Folks,
We decided to make a cool short film about a toddlers visit to a local barber shop because Dapper kid annoucnementquite frankly it would be cool. When you think about what a barber shop is the image of a manly bastion of testosterone and grooming comes to mind. A little bit of humor and beer and you are in for one hell of a good time.

Whittier Blvd has a long and colorful history in Southern California and Uptown Barber Shop was an ideal location to shoot. Not only was the location great but also Gabriel, the owner, truly has a knack for cutting young and old alike. A few months ago we took 6 month old Desi and 2 year old Nicholas Kotsios for a photo shoot for the inaugural issue of the Traditional Barber Journal and it was perfect.

So in a sense this video is a follow-up that documents a true traditional barber performing his profession on a toddler who is able to walk down the Blvd and recognizes the need for proper grooming. So we hope you enjoy the first episode of The Adventures of Dapper Kid, “The Kid and The Barber”!

Stay tuned for more short films in the GA Thanksgiving Film Festival 2015!

Gents,

We have conducted well over 100 photo shoots of amazing individuals and barber shops for our website and magazine but the cover shoot for the Traditional Barber Journal vol.I, issue I was truly epic.The cover was shot at Uptown Barber Shop in Whittier, CA for the article, “A Place Where Boys Become Men“.

Owner Gabriel Garcia performed an amazing grooming transformation on these fine young men in about 20 min each! They went from drab to dapper at the hands of a skilled barber. In the article Gabriel explains the keys to producing a quality cut and creating a positive experience.

We just couldn’t hold back and had to release this SNEAK PEEK! The barber chair is a Theo A. Kochs circa late 1800’s!
