Khalil Malamug considers himself a craftsman, an artist whose canvas is a head of hair.
Malamug, 28, dreamed of owning a barbershop ever since he picked up his first pair of clippers as a teenager. He was drawn to the ambiance and the easy conversations between men and their barbers while visiting local barbershops as a child with his dad.
Last month, Malamug opened the sleek and stylish Razorsharp Barbershop & Shave Parlor – his own art studio for hair – on Middlesex Avenue in the heart of Metuchen.
