Jam-packed
with little boys, big boys, dads, and neighbors, Mr. Bigalow's barbershop
is a familiar place to talk, to play dominoes, to read, and in Rashaad's
case, to get a little extra help with his schoolwork. Not only does Mr.
Bigalow know all the latest styles, he also knows all the words on Rashaad's
vocabulary list. Whether it's haircuts or words, Mr. Bigalow is the best
at what he does. He is also a friend and a role model—and as Rashaad
puts it, "one cool dude."
Focusing on a close relationship between a young African American boy
and his community mentor, The Barber's Cutting Edge honors barbers
like Mr. Bigalow in every community, and the boys like Rashaad who learn
from them.
