Castro's man cave
Dufanda, who runs the Castro's man cave, is changing how grooming is done and has been shaving artsy patterns into haircuts long before anyone appreciated the art.
“After I do a cut to a person and when I take a picture and shows it to them they are like: ‘wow’ I feel good when they appreciate my creativity,” Dufanda told BBC.
He rose to fame after winning the inaugural Afro Hair Awards in the Barber of the Year category three years ago and now he’s the hotshot in the hair grooming business.
