Tell us about yourself.
I always like to tell people that Dee Robert Jr is the little skinny kid from Westwego that always dreamed of making it out of his city. Without going into grave details, I grew up in a neighborhood called “The Hole.” So that pretty much explains it all. Fast forward, I’m now a six-figure celebrity barber, inspirational figure, and a burgeoning real estate developer.
