Jermarol Lee grew up in North Augusta, SC. As a teenager he hated it when his hair cuts didn't stand out enough and decided to experiment in cutting his own hair. In the process of showing off his cuts, he found himself competing with other talented school mates doing the same. This led to him charging $5 a cut to locals in the neighborhood. The skills he picked up inspired him to enroll in Cosmetology school while attending High school. In 1995 he decided to go to Southern Barber College in Augusta,GA. While attending S.B.C he worked in a salon part time as a Barber/Manager. After graduation, he immediately landed a gig as a barber at the main PX on FT. Gordon.
Years prior, he read a book: Think and Grow Rich which motivated him to write a business for his own shop. After working at the main PX for a year, he launched his plans and Tobacco Road Barber Shop was on the map in 1997. Five years later he has successfully trained four apprentices that are now Master Barbers (3 of which own their own shops), participated in several hair shows, started an advertising agency in his shop (TRBS advertising), recorded and edited " How to cut the Ultimate Fade" DVD, and has employed dozens of barbers over the years. Jermarol has recently opened a new barber shop and salon located in Wrens Ga. |
