BBT’s Barbershop

A father. A son. A barbershop where every cut comes with a story.

BBT’s Barbershop: Season One isn’t a memoir. It’s a seat in the chair—where truth shows up uninvited, jokes soften the blows, and a Black father teaches his son what real life feels like.

Brian B. Turner, a writer and entrepreneur raised in D.C. and Prince George’s County, brings you ten powerful conversations between him and his son Bryce, each told through the lens of a barbershop visit. As the clippers hum, stories unfold: about growing up broke, navigating the hood, chasing girls, facing failure, wrestling with faith, and learning what manhood really means.

Some of these stories happened. Some almost happened. Some probably shouldn’t have happened.

But every one of them is real.

With humor, depth, and raw emotional honesty, BBT’s Barbershop captures what too many boys miss growing up: a father willing to say the hard stuff, pass on the wisdom, and stay in the chair long enough to be heard.

This book is for:

• Fathers trying to reach their sons
• Sons trying to understand their fathers
• Kids who made it out… and those still trying
• Anyone who ever learned life lessons between haircuts and heartache

Whether you’re raising kids, healing from your past, or trying to build something new—this one’s for you.

Ten cuts. Ten convos. One chair.

Welcome to BBT’s Barbershop. Let’s talk.
