Real Stories from Sharp Top Barbers

See how Sharp Top is changing careers — and lives.

“I met Brent the day I moved to Lynchburg, and we clicked instantly. Throughout my time in barber school, we stayed in touch. As soon as I graduated, I started at Sharp Top — back when there was only one location. A year and some change later, I’m now working in the second Sharp Top location while a third is being built.

As for the work environment, I can honestly say it’s great — from the top down. Everyone talks about booth rent in this industry, but no one talks about the real benefits of commission shops like Sharp Top. You don’t have to track every haircut, tip, and transaction for your taxes — Sharp Top handles all of that for you. It’s truly worry-free.

Clientele? Covered. Marketing? Covered. You literally show up, cut hair, and go home. It’s that simple.

Another thing most barbers worry about is missing pay if they take a vacation. At Sharp Top, we get Paid Time Off — something you don’t see in most shops.

This is just a brief look at my experience. I could honestly write a whole book on how Sharp Top changed my career.

"My name is Eric — aka Sharp Top Eric — and I’m a barber at Sharp Top Barbershop. I would like to talk about my time being at Sharp Top and the many things it has done for me.

For starters, I have only been cutting hair for about 2 going on 3 years, so I'm new and I do require help on some things. Sharp Top never strayed away — as long as I have been willing to learn, there has been someone in place to assure I succeed.

Aside from business, the culture we have created at Sharp Top is shameless and genuine. We check on each other, help each other outside of work, give advice where it's needed, and manage to remain a team without letting little things get in between us.

Lastly, everybody likes money — and Sharp Top pays. Yes, commission was a little scary at first, but once the checks started rolling in, I couldn’t be more satisfied. I’ve seen growth every quarter. Our owner and the team focus hard on promoting and assuring you get the chance to show your skills. As an employee and a barber, that's all I could ask for."
