We had the good fortune of connecting with Latoya Jones and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Latoya, looking back, what do you think was the most difficult decision you’ve had to make?
To sacrifice my livelihood for my craft.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Barbering actually saved my life! What sets me apart from others is I’m very observant of detail. I got to where I’m at now with a lot of hard work, discipline & dedication. Nothing comes easy but I’m a firm believer in pushing thru & never giving up! I’ve learned that you can’t make everyone happy & God places obstacles & people in your life for a reason. Check out my beard kits for the guys that like to keep a well groomed beard. Also, be on the lookout for my barbershop (FinesseNFadez) and clothing line (RareBreed)

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I would take them for some golf or horseback riding on the ranch. It’s my peace! I love a good seafood and bbq restaurant. My view of some good relaxation is kicking back barefoot on the beach with a cocktail. Live life, you only get one!!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My family but especially my parents. My mom has always been my biggest supporter & step dad, who was the backbone of the family (RIP) 🙏🏾
