Governor Hassan Joho’s celebrity Barber George Dufanda is representing Kenya out there with his great shaving skills and has now gone international.
Dufanda has been featured on one of the biggest Gossip sites in America “The Shade Room”.
The Shade Room, which enjoys a following of over 15.4 million followers on Instagram, shared a number of Dufanda’s haircuts acknowledging his efforts and creativity in the Hair and beauty industry.
“Okay, #Roommates, we’ve seen some dope barber-work, but this barber we came across has SKILLS!.The barber is based out of #Kenya and is clearly very gifted in the creative department! We were really feeling these cuts, and we wanted to know if y’all were feeling it too!? Which one is your favorite?! (Swipe) Via: @blackartexpo @george_dufanda” reads an update from The Shade Room.
Dufanda, who runs the Castro’s man cave, is changing how grooming is done and has been shaving artsy patterns into haircuts long before anyone appreciated the art.
“After I do a cut to a person and when I take a picture and shows it to them they are like: ‘wow’ I feel good when they appreciate my creativity,” Dufanda told BBC.
He rose to fame after winning the inaugural Afro Hair Awards in the Barber of the Year category three years ago and now he’s the hotshot in the hair grooming business.
Among his clientele are notable public figures and celebrities in Kenya ranging from politicians, artists, presenters, footballers to local media personalities.
