Barbering is a craft of precision. But for those who teach it, it becomes a responsibility. Sid Sottung has spent 35 years in the industry and over 25 years as an international educator, carrying a simple philosophy: never give up on a student. From New York to Nottingham and back to the United States, his journey has never been about fame. It has always been about progress, patience, and lifting others. In this interview, Sid opens up about running two academies and two shops at once, the mentors who shaped him, and why enjoying the craft matters more than chasing perfection.
