DEEP CUTS

By Jing Chen

“I told everybody the counseling is free. But the haircut is 18 bucks.“

Tim “Floyd” Head established the Floyd’s Barber Shop following his father’s footsteps. Throughout his 36 years as a barber, he has maintained lifelong connections with his clients. Tim offers “last cuts” at the funeral home for free. Beyond his career as a barber, Tim takes on the role of father and community counselor. This is his reflection on fatherhood, family, and the community he continues to build up–one haircut at a time.
