Today we’d like to introduce you to Dejarion Echols.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I was formerly incarcerated and upon release chased my dream of entrepreneurship via barbershop..
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Struggles were persistent in the sense that all challenges I faced were directly related to newfound freedom
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
A Playa Touch is more than a barbershop — it’s a lifestyle experience rooted in confidence, culture, and community. We specialize in precision grooming, premium fades, and refined styling for men who value looking and feeling their best. Our brand is known for our signature “Playa” standard: a mindset of being well-groomed, self-assured, responsible, and sharp in every area of life.
What sets A Playa Touch apart is our commitment to the full experience, not just the haircut. From the moment clients walk in, they are welcomed into an atmosphere that blends barbershop tradition with a modern, elevated vibe. We don’t just provide fades; we provide transformation — helping men show up in the world with presence, poise, and purpose.
We take pride in being a hub for the community, a place where conversations, networking, and personal growth happen naturally. Brand-wise, our proudest achievement is building a culture that clients identify with and return to consistently. Many say a visit to A Playa Touch feels like hitting a reset button — walking out renewed, motivated, and looking like the best version of themselves.
We want readers to know that A Playa Touch is the go-to destination for top-tier grooming, luxury customer service, and a brand ethos rooted in staying “Playa” — cool, responsible, stylish, and true to yourself. We offer haircuts, beard sculpting, grooming consultations, and a grooming environment designed for modern professionals, students, athletes, and anyone who values excellence in their appearance.
