Brandon Fetzer
Santa Ana
I’ve been cutting hair since I was 16 years old, I’m going on to be 36 this year and have been only getting better at mastering my craft. I have built a loyal, trustworthy following and I always do my best to do better than my last cut.
Off the Chair
Where are you from originally?
I am born and raised in Corona, CA.
What brought you to your current city?
I now work in Santa Ana at the best barbershop in the OC, GoodFellaz Barbershop!
What's the wildest haircut request you've ever received?
The broccoli cut has been crazy, this new generation of haircuts are different but nothing I can’t handle.
What's your secret to getting clients to relax in the chair?
Customer service is the key to successfully relaxing your clients and creating a long term relationship that becomes a loyal customer.
What's one product every guy should have in their routine?
Basix cream pomade is probably one of my favorite products, it’s not to much gunk and has a great hold.
What's the easiest way for clients to keep their haircut looking fresh?
The easiest way to stay fresh as a client is to be a weekly or every two weeks customer to maintain a clean presentable look that everyone can appreciate.
Q & A
How would you describe your style in one sentence?
I was mentored by one of the best traditional barbers in the industry. I strongly believe that traditional style of barbering with a modern twist is the style I run with.
What matters most to you in the chair?
Making sure that my clients are always happy with my haircuts is what matters most to me.
What separates a good cut from a great one?
The detailing of a cut separates a good cut from a great cut.
What's something clients don't see but should appreciate?
Proper sanitation and prep work is what clients don’t see but I know they would appreciate it.
What tools or products stay in your daily rotation?
I live by andis masters, by far the masters are my favorite clippers since day one.
