James Bradley Salon

It's getting tight when Wayne Tuggle here on the right went to Barber School 25 years ago. His brothers high school teammates reap the benefits. I used to take his clippers and when before practice I would cut all the players hair on my basketball team. Bradley Tuggle was soon not just cutting hair professionally but demonstrating his skills at professional convention that have the vibe of a rock concert when everything changed for him. I was doing a hair show and a man named Farooq Shammy who owns Chi Haircare asked me to take a ride with him in his limousine to the airport. Farooq offered Bradley a job representing Chi Haircare, a company whose products he believes in. I would sell it if I didn't believe in it. But more so their dedication to combating the COVID pandemic. They have completely switched all shampoo manufacturing over to hand sanitizer. Bradley has been able to take his story to a nationwide audience on the various home shopping networks. And he's become something of a hair styling celebrity. I've been at airports before. It's a notoriety he could easily have used to take his salon to one of the country's biggest cities but he stays in the triad because he believes in his staff. I would put this group of stylist up against anybody. A staff whose chairs he says have been empty for far too long. It's time. It's time. I mean we've sat out a month or so or two months. We followed the rules and hairdressers are a little bit of rebels at the end of the day and Keeping their workplace sanitary has never been an issue in this heavily regulated industry. A hairdresser has been sanitizing from day one so we know how to handle this situation. And it's a situation that for some may becoming dire. Open hair salons because you don't want to go too long and have these ladies gray roots showing. Bob Buckley. We love doing hair and we want to get back to we want to get back behind the chair as soon as possible. Fox 8 News.
