Weatherspoon stated, “Although women are welcomed, Ace of Fades Barbershop, Phase II is a modern barbershop that offers today’s gentlemen a setting where they can sit back, relax, and experience the new age style of male grooming services.”
 
Weatherspoon is optimistic about the future of this location and plans to introduce skin care someday.
 
”I want to introduce our clients to therapy of skin healing. We want to provide more than just a hair here at this location,” said Weatherspoon.
 
Ace of Fades Barbershop, Phase II recently joined the Valdosta Chamber and is excited to continue reaping the benefits of being a Chamber member.
