Rikki Vang

Story

Rikki Vang was so inspired by his first faded haircut that he decided to give them himself. As a high school freshman, he gave free haircuts to his friends in his basement — and even then, the results were transformative. His "clients" who typically got a haircut once every six months would leave his chair with a completely new outlook on life. Today, Rikki is a master of bald fades, skin fades, clipper fades, taper fades, lineups, straight-razor shaves, and beard work. His favorite technique? The clipper-over-comb, which he uses to give sculptural shape to every cut.
