Everyone noticed that this year, Lebron ditched the huge headband he usually wears on the court and rocked what seemed like a new filled in hairline that had everyone wondering if Lebron used products to resurrect his famous receding hairline. Lebron’s personal barber went on the record to reveal the secrets to what Lebron did.
Barber Nick Castemano is tired of getting asked the same question of how Lebron fixed his hairline and this is what he had to say:
“There is no dye. No additives. No preservatives,” Castemanos told Yahoo Sports in a phone interview Thursday. “Everyone thinks he’s dying his hair using [temporary hair colorings] Bigen or Black Ice. It’s all his hair. They still don’t believe me. I get Bigen comments all the time.
“I’ve become numb to it. It used to bother me. It’s not easy to hear that.
Castemano is James personal barber and actually moved to Cleveland to cut not only James hair, but the whole Cleveland Cavaliers squad. Lebron met Castemano while he was in Miami and the two hit it off after that. Castemano calls Lebron his most difficult customer.
“LeBron is very tedious about how his hair is cut,” said Castemanos, who has been a professional barber for 11 years. “The beard is the No. 1 thing. He leaves the top up to me. I leave him less bald. He’s my guy.
“He’s my hardest haircut. He has good hair. You have to cut it right. He just has a few fat patches around the chin that you have to take your time with. You have to have patience. It usually takes about 50 minutes.”
Castmano also does private house calls when he’s not busy with the Cav’s team, but his rate is 75$ an hour. Looks like it pays to be a celebrity barber.
