Greetings, family! In this profession, the beauty industry, I’m coined by the title “Lentzkutz.” Deriving from my birth name “Wherlentz,” I aimed to be intentional with building my respective brand on my core identity.

Why barbering, you may ask? Well, circa the end of the year 2022, this dawning question was simply non-existent. While some beauty professionals are given birth to by their upbringing- having had family or friends of sort who either dabble, or excel at the craft, that was not the case for me.

In fact, the first traces of barbering possibilities originated from my fathers encouragement to us teenage boys- my brother and I, to learn the skill of cutting hair so that we could tend to one another’s grooming needs. Needless to say, we paid him no mind. 

Fast forward to mid- 2022, a period in time where as a young-man, I yearned to find purpose in life; to be passionate, competent, and serving of others through a respective outlet. While time stood still in that pursuit, in the enjoyment of social media; Instagram to be specific, I discovered an excitement and satisfaction of watching other professional barbers display their craft- its process, and the touching change it brought to those they served.

In a meticulously God planned vision, the puzzle pieces would fall together, where I would embark on my barbering journey. With a bit of YouTube binge watching of barbering content , and the guidance that came from having expressed my desire for the craft to the right people, in less than six-months time, I was already taking a leap of faith to acquire the necessary tools and prepped a studio space at home where I stayed with my parents to get started. 

As the marathon continues, I like say, I continue to enjoy the journey in whatsoever form it comes in. I most certainly enjoy being able to accommodate my clients, who have become family, by satisfying the requested grooming services and then some. Oftentimes, an act of service that always leave my clients appalled, is a blended cut, outlined by a sharp hairline, accompanied by a hot-towel, followed by a relaxing massage. The reaction at the end, although expressed in many a word, always summarizes to “Wow, this for me is a nouvel experience; I fell asleep there for a second, I will certainly be coming back!”
In today’s time, the statistic might prove that theirs an accessible barbershop every so couple blocks. But in your search for a barber; a skillful professional, friend, listener- someone who cares, it is imperative that access doesn’t equal entry. If you were looking for the few good apples in the bunch, you my friend have found, #lentzkutz and need not looking any further. 

The #lentzkutzexperience goes beyond a haircut. It is an experience that embodies perfection; care and attention to micro-details, both from an outer, and inner spectrum. The #lentzkutzexperience is men’s grooming, paired with elite customer service at its finest.
Who am I outside of my craft, you may ask? Well, I am a child of God, a son, a servant, an extrovert at heart- people person. I enjoy taking life at its helm, being intentional to experience it. I enjoy reflecting, gymming, watching a good movie, spending quality time with loved ones, traveling, I share a love-hate relationship with reading, and all-in-all, I like to do things that challenge, transform, and shape me as I grow in years.

I am Lentzkutz, and I approve of this message.

“It is one thing to simply change a men’s outer appearance, but an absolute unique ulterior thing when you can, through what you do, touch and redefine a man from inside out.” Lentzkutz

I go by Vic_shears. Some people know me from back when I was K9cut but on December 24th, 2023, I stepped it up and rebranded to Vic_shears. Same passion, same hands, new level.

I found my inspiration in Nigeria, where as a young boy, my mother would ask me to style her hair. Despite initially knowing little about hairdressing, I would use a comb, gel, and my creativity on her hair, often resulting in amusing mishaps with too much gel or hair cream on one side. Over time, I developed a passion for hairstyling, even shaving my father’s hair with a shaving stick (he was getting a baldie😂) after my mother had left Nigeria. 

Eventually, I expressed my desire to learn barbering as a skill, which my parents supported wholeheartedly. Despite initial setbacks in finding the right barber shop, my determination persisted. Sadly, my father passed away during that time, but my mother, even from afar, remained supportive, enlisting the help of her brother to find a better spot. After some time, I found myself at K9cut, where I honed my skills. However, on December 24th, 2023, K9cut transformed into Vicshears, marking a new chapter in my journey. With dedication and support, Vicshears has now been in the industry for 4 years, not counting my training years. I express gratitude to God and everyone who has contributed to my journey, looking forward optimistically to the future and the opportunities it holds. 

I cut all textures, all races, all styles. I take pride in giving clean fades, sharp lineups, insane design and whatever you need to look your best. My thing is luxury, efficiency, precision and consistency.

My clients often say the same thing: I pay attention to detail and never rush the process. They know they are going to leave my chair looking sharp, confident and feeling good every single time. Also, they love that I’m a 5-star barber both on Booksy and Google.

One thing I do enjoy about barbering is the feeling people get when they look in the mirror. Seeing that boost of confidence when I’m done that’s the real reward for me.

Outside of the shop, I like exploring more than beyond imagination, connecting with new people, traveling a lot to boost my native intelligence, reading books based on finance and true life motivational stories and hardly watch movies

I am a therapist in my little way. I have been through the ups and downs and know how to handle my clients when they are down and make them see the light before the end of the tunnel. I care about every cut. I treat every client like family. I stayed consistent, and by God’s grace, I’m just getting started. If you want quality, detail, and a barber who respects your time and your hair, I’m your guy. Top echelon grooming only!!!

I’m thankful to God, my family, and everyone out there who’s believed in me so far. Never give up, stay relentless,  No matter what field you’re in, move like you could get kicked out tomorrow. That hunger will keep you grinding and hitting your goals every time. My favorite quote since I was a child goes: “Work until your signature becomes an autograph.” The journey is just beginning, stay tuned, big things ahead.
