Watching Choochcutz, or Kendrick Mora, on his license is like watching a master at work. He is DaVinci. Kobe, Amadeus of hair. Although he has been cutting hair for just five years, he is already a prodigy and can style several popular faces like Lil Baby, Stephen Curry, The Alchemist, The Entire Detroit Pistons team (NBA), and more! No detail goes unnoticed. There is no hair too small to be missed.
The shop is fun, inviting, and full of humor. It would seem that if there were more Detroit Pistons players, there would be more buzz. But Kendrick the Barber is humble. Maybe that’s why his celebrity clients trust him with their privacy and fade. Reported as one of the best to do it in Detroit.

Shortly after, chooch made barbering his full-time occupation.
