Stay in school,\u201d said Walker, who has been at the barbershop\/hair salon situated outside of downtown Birmingham for five years, to a group of NABJ JSHOP reporters visiting several local Black-owned small businesses on Tuesday.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMake sure you get your diploma. Don\u2019t let the streets call,\u201d Walker added. \u201cThey will call you. You don\u2019t need to answer.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marcus Williams, a regular client at the establishment, agrees. He loves the hospitality and has \u201cno plans to change barbers for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"http:\/\/nabjmonitor.com\/2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/105A-House-of-Cuts-Mia-Maynor.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"453\" src=\"http:\/\/nabjmonitor.com\/2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/105A-House-of-Cuts-Mia-Maynor.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nabjmonitor.com\/2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/105A-House-of-Cuts-Mia-Maynor.png 800w, https:\/\/nabjmonitor.com\/2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/105A-House-of-Cuts-Mia-Maynor-300x170.png 300w, https:\/\/nabjmonitor.com\/2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/105A-House-of-Cuts-Mia-Maynor-768x435.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>However, haircuts isn&#8217;t the only thriving business in this building owned by Jimmy Shallow, a local businessman. Stylist Mia Maynor occupies space for her growing \u201cShades of Mia\u201d clientele who come to her for various hair styles including pixie cuts, extensions, silk press weaves, twists, braids and loc maintenance. She even shapes eyebrows!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maynor, who has been sharing space at House of Cuts for two years, said she makes an effort to be diversified\u201d with her styling. Maynor said her goals are simple and straightforward: keep her customers happy and coming back to the shop.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And like any emerging entrepreneur, Maynor wants to have her own shop one day.
