At Artisan Barber, Satesh has quickly become known for his timeless approach to cutting hair. Originally from Trinidad and Tobago, Sateshโs journey into barbering began five years ago when his love for a clean, polished look inspired him to pick up the clippers. โBeing the classic man, clean, polished, looking dapperโthatโs where it all started,โ he says. Now, heโs carving out a reputation for delivering cuts that never go out of style.
Sateshโs philosophy is simple yet powerful: โA good haircut always speaks for itself.โ He believes that no matter how much money you have, a sharp haircut makes you feel confident and luxurious. โIt just makes you feel better about yourself,โ he adds.
Sateshโs specialty? The classic haircut. Whether itโs a slicked-back look or a part to the side, heโs a master of traditional, old-school styles. โOnce you know how to cut classic, you can cut anything,โ Satesh says with pride. Heโs also known for his flawless skin fades, but his foundation is always rooted in classic techniques.
โThe way you cut me is a timeless look,โ one of his clients said during their appointment.
His appreciation for classic styles comes from the belief that understanding traditional cuts allows you to build on them and tackle anything modern. Thatโs why his clients, whether theyโre getting a skin fade or a more vintage look, always leave feeling sharp and on-point.
Outside the barbershop, Satesh is all about exploring New York Cityโs food scene. His favorite indulgence? Oysters. Whether heโs grabbing a quick bite between appointments or treating himself after a long day of cutting, he loves discovering new spots to eat.
But when it comes to cutting hair, Sateshโs least favorite experiences are when a client has no idea what they want. โGoing in blind is tricky,โ he explains. Without direction, he has to get creative, but that can be risky. Still, Satesh thrives on the challenge of figuring out what works best for each individual, and itโs clear he values communication to deliver the best cut possible.
Satesh has his sights set on bringing back more bold styles, like the big, shaped afros of the early 2000s. โIโd like to see more big afrosโthink 2000s Ludacris,โ he says with a smile. As much as he loves the precision of a slicked-back look, heโs excited about the possibility of seeing more rounded, voluminous afros in the shop.
Having cut celebrities like Kal Penn and Broadway actors, Sateshโs skills and professionalism speak for themselves. His love for traditional styles, paired with his modern touch, makes him a standout at Artisan Barber.
If you're looking for a classic, timeless cut that makes you feel like your best self, Satesh is your guy. Whether youโre after a traditional slick-back or a sharp skin fade, youโll leave feeling polished, confident, and ready to take on anything.
