Ali Alhashemi
Founded in 2014, the Uppercutz Barbershop is owned by Barber Ali Alhashemi, also known as Barber Al, who cuts hair for Sada Baby, Jerome Bettis, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, and the entire Detroit Lions team. Besides cutting hair, Al also owns his line of organic hair care products. Known for building an outstanding connection with his clients at an organic level, Alhashemi is not just skilled at his work, but is also a delightful company for his clients at his barbershop.
Ali started cutting his hair while he was in his teens. The background to this is that he was never satiated with how random barbers cut his hair. He ended up styling his hair himself, and at the insistence of his father, he began trying various techniques on others' hair too. Ali's simple, yet ambitious beginnings were in his garage. He always nurtured the idea of spreading happiness through whatever profession he chose. Not only did he hone and polish his haircutting skills, he also made it a point to encourage, motivate and uplift the spirits of his clients. There are ample tips and secret techniques that he uses that have earned him the popularity and fame that he espouses today.
Ali numerously works towards helping people to discover security in themselves amidst hardships. Every time he treats a client, he works towards providing a beautiful experience to them. The secret to his popularity is that he knows how important it is to establish a connection of trust and sincerity between the professional and the client. He talks dedicatedly with his clients, and humbly builds a relationship that resonates around sensibility. As soon as the clients are done getting their haircut done, they feel a positive change not only in their physical appearance, but their conscience too.
Ali is also substantial with his knowledge about hair. His Instagram profile not only shows how beautifully he cuts hair but also how he places a profound importance of communicating with the client to achieve the desired hairstyle. His tips as a barber on communicating with your hairstylist are also explained in his daily Instagram stories, which have gained ample following over a brief span of time.
Ali's kindness and beautiful nature are reflected in how he and his team conduct charities. From free haircuts in the neighbourhood, free haircuts at homeless shelters, to Christmas events, Barber Al is always there for the community to remind people that there are still kindhearted people out there devoted to the welfare of the community, and for whom the collective happiness of the community matters more than a mere profit motive. It is because of these merits and qualities of Alhashemi that the world has recognised him as one of the most celebrated contemporary influencers. .
