Award-winning Tacoma-based celebrity barber Juice Fades recently joined host Trae Holiday on “The Day With Trae” for a conversation on his journey to barbering, his Tacoma roots, and making his manifestations a reality. 

While still in school, he was inspired by visiting professional barbers active in the competition scene. It was then that he decided he would one day be a celebrity barber—even manifesting it in his social media bio before he had ever cut a famous client's hair.

His dream was realized when comedian Nate Jackson walked into his shop. Despite being fully booked, Juice recognized the opportunity, adjusted his schedule, and took the shot, which opened his doors to cutting hair for comedians and stars.

Today, Juice Fades stands as a barbershop staple within the Tacoma community. He has won competition titles three years consecutively at the Reign of Style Hair Show and Competition. Currently, Juice Fades is nominated for the prestigious "Barber of the Year" MANE Award at Reign of Style, with voting open through Sunday, April 19th at reignofstyle.com 

Keep up with his journey and book a session via his Instagram.

Catch “The Day With Trae” Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 11 a.m. on all Converge streaming platforms.
