Before his fight in UFC 297 in Toronto against Brad Katona, UFC fighter Garret Armfield ensured he followed his pre-fight ritual. A key part of this ritual was getting a fresh haircut from Toronto barber, Claudio Ferreira.
For Garret, maintaining his grooming routine is about more than just appearance; it's a mental preparation, a way to get into the right headspace before stepping into the octagon.
I had the pleasure of connecting with Chris Curtis before his arrival in Toronto to give him a fresh haircut. Chris, known as "The Action Man," is not only an great MMA fighter with a record of 31-12-0, 1 NC, but also a genuinely great person. During his visit to Toronto for UFC 297, where he fought Marc-André Barriault, I ensured he looked his best. Chris won the fight by split decision in the third round, showcasing his skill and determination. Grateful to have met him.
Claudio Ferreira, known as Claudio the Barber prepares MMA fighter Sean "The Sniper" Woodson for UFC 297 with a fresh haircut. From their initial contact to the confident steps into the cage, read about how Claudio's skilled hands and Sean's determination create a winning combination. Claudio feels honored to have played a role in Sean’s journey and looks forward to seeing his future successes.
Before his big fight at Unified MMA 55 in Toronto, South African MMA fighter Mark Hulme needed a fresh haircut. Barber Claudio Ferreira stepped in to ensure Mark looked sharp for the event. As they chatted, Mark shared stories of his journey and his close friend, Dricus Du Plessis, who was also fighting the next day. Claudio's precision boosted Mark's confidence, reminding us of the power of a good haircut.
Recently, I got in touch with PLAZA and had the opportunity to give him a fresh haircut at Fade Room. PLAZA, known for his soulful hits "Personal," "All Mine," and "Use Me," is not only an incredibly talented artist but also a humble and genuine individual. Born Michael Martin Kaminski on July 29, 1990, in Toronto, Ontario, he was signed to OVO Sound from 2017 to 2021.
At Fade Room Barbershop Toronto had the incredible honor of being invited to Reebok headquarters for the launch of the latest Cardi B x Reebok Classic collection. Claudio Ferreira and our skilled barbers provided haircuts and beard shaves for Reebok employees throughout the day, celebrating this exciting collaboration. We're grateful to Reebok for this amazing opportunity to showcase our talents and be part of such a high-profile event.
