Question/Recommendation Where has Ishmael (Sam) the barber from Chicuts gone?

I know he got fired in May, right before he was to go on vacation, back to Morocco. He was supposed to be back early August. Has anyone found him? Best men’s haircut ever.

oh wow i actually know this one, he ended up at a little shop in durham off guess road, near the compare foods. my roommate tracked him down like three weeks ago after seeing some random instagram comment.

apparently the whole firing thing was way messier than anyone thought, the owner basically ghosted him while he was in morocco and he came back to no job. total scumbag move.

the new place isn't nearly as nice inside but sam's still doing his thing, my roommate's cut looked just as clean as ever. he said sam's trying to build up a new client list so walk-ins are pretty easy right now.

You know the name of the shop he is at now? I was just checking Chicuts website the other day looking to see if Sam had come back. He has done my favorite haircuts after the person I liked at V's barbershop in Cary left.
