As a current Tonsorial Student myself, I must say that I’m very impressed with this gnetleman’s garage barbershop. It is very cool and has helped to inspire me to meet my own goals. Congratulations to you sir and keep up the great work.
To the over bloviated ‘Artifact’ is must say this; “Chill out and stop being such an uptight windbag”.

Aaron, I tip my hat to you… I am a certified loctician and natural hair care provider. I’ve been doing hair for many, many years in my home and have recently decided to convert my garage into a salon. I was pursuing the website for gargae conversions and found this article. I love it and it has inspired me to follow my dream and keep my vision alive! Kudos to you!

@Artifact
Are you really criticizing him for success? I see, as long as you can project your own failures on others you live a happy life. It makes sense now. Keep up that underachiever attitude and go collect your Government welfare check. Meanwhile people will actually go out and try to succeed, and sometimes fail, so you can sit around and be safe off the sweat of others. I think Brett gave you too much credit using the work intellectual. The world would be a dismal place if people didn’t follow their dreams and risk failure. Not everyone can sit around living off others, some of us go out and take risks. Its called life, try it sometime.

Good job Aaron, congratulations keep up the good fight.

@Artifact-

Are you really still commenting? The only thing that’s nauseating is your strange lack of self-awareness and humility. You have cast yourself in the role of intellectual martyr, where people are criticizing you simply because you made an unpopular argument. In reality, they are piling on you because your argument is absolutely nonsensical and you have failed to make any valid points whatsoever. Please, please move on.

Well Bill thanks for your input to the site, really insightful stuff. I wasn’t aware you needed to write articles on the website in order to comment. Do we always have to pat each other on the back and say what special clever men we all are? I don’t know why so many on this site are terrified of criticism; it’s nauseating. If you want to dispute what I’ve said please do so, otherwise quit being a bitch and go read the art-of-childishness.
Aaron. Well done on the magazine spread. You assume I want you to fail. I do not.

Just a quick update, my barbershop is soon to be featured in international press and also an upcoming magazine spread in Australia. So don’t worry about the nitpickers, for I have definitely had the last laugh and couldn’t have imagined how warmly received my shop has been received by the wider community so thank you.

Looking forward to Artifact’s article on AoM…. Oh wait, he has nothing to share. How about you don’t come back till you have the guts to feature your ‘interest’ for the world to see?

Dude. It’s called Australia. It’s called subsidized education. And no it’s not a fear of failure, it’s Disney that is responsible for the notion that as long as youre following your dreams then everything is fine. This is not the little mermaid, leave your childish fantasies at the door. There’s mature ways of achieving goals and then there’s immature ones. Yeah maybe the first barber did that in his mud hut. Yet for the last couple of thousand years a man would learn a trade as an apprentice, which you can still do today. Why? Because he needed training and tools and a workplace that he couldn’t just go buy with that spare $2.5k he didn’t have lying around and then cry poor about. Now we also have schools and regulations. But no let’s just go back to the good old days of limited opportunities and options and just let everyone “follow their dreams” and do what they want immediately in their garage. If I had a 14k dream I couldn’t afford I wouldn’t spend 1/6 of that on unnecessary fantasy. I’d put it in the bank and add to it every week. You know, the way an adult achieves their goals?
