18 Years Old. Owns a Barbershop. Building a Business with Faith | Cave Cuts | TheDeenHood Ep 10

At just 18 years old, Shadin, better known as Cave Cuts, has already built a name for himself as one of the community's rising barbers. What started with giving haircuts in stairwells, garages, parks, and a small room called "The Cave" has grown into a real barbershop built through consistency, hard work, and trust in Allah. In this episode, Shadin shares his journey of becoming a barber at a young age, why he chose entrepreneurship over the traditional path, the challenges he faced after losing his first shop, and how loyal clients helped him bounce back stronger than ever. We also discuss the importance of positive mentors, staying away from crime, serving the community, maintaining salah while running a business, and how a simple haircut can give someone confidence before life's biggest moments.
