Debra Collins said… I had a class today with your replacement, Elijah, and he was really great. This was at the West Coast Show in San Jose. I really enjoyed him and I learned a lot of clipper cutting and he was a great educator and very interesting and funny too. I will look for you next time, but your guy did a good job in your absence.

If you haven't treated yourself to a live performance with Ivan DO SO.
Besides being an amazing haircutter, and a wealth of information on all aspects of the hair business, he's quite the entertainer, and had me laughing out loud.
Clipper Guy Rocks!
