SUMM IT UP

Barbershop 2.0 with Gino Maggio

Episode Summary

It’s not your daddy’s barber shop. Gone are the days of waiting an hour to get a cut and shave, and the “boy’s club” vibe - at least at Gino Maggio’s company, The Barbershop Tampa.

Episode Notes

Gino Maggio is the owner and a barber behind the chair at The Barber Shop Tampa. But he’s not anyone’s boss: the other barbers rent chairs from him and contribute to decision-making for the business. In this episode, Gino chats with host Blake Reed Evans (who is also his loyal customer!) about barbershop culture including booth rentals, gender inclusivity, and maintaining an environment that’s respectful to women and kids. Also get caught on the latest barbering hair trends, online booking tech, and more.
