Meet Aaron Burks

With over a decade of experience in the barbering industry, Aaron Burks founded Better Kutz with a mission to transform lives through the art of barbering.

What started as a passion for clean cuts has evolved into a comprehensive training program that has helped hundreds of aspiring barbers launch successful careers.

Today, Better Kutz is more than a training program — it's a movement dedicated to building the next generation of skilled, confident, and business-savvy barbers.

"I'm building more than barbers — I'm building leaders, entrepreneurs, and role models."

Barbers Are Fathers Too

Aaron was featured in a Hairstylist Spotlight on mentorship, fatherhood, and the role barbers play in their community.

Support the Movement

Better Kutz is more than haircuts — it's a pipeline that turns Gwinnett County kids into skilled, confident, business-minded young adults. Every chair we fill, every tool we put in a young hand, and every mentor who shows up moves a kid closer to a real future. Here's how you can help us build it.

01

Sponsors

Put your business behind the next generation. Sponsorships help cover training space, clippers, capes, and supplies — and position your brand as a partner invested in our community's youth.

Become a Sponsor
02

Donations

Every dollar goes straight to the kids — scholarships for students who can't afford training, starter tool kits, and program costs. No gift is too small to change a young person's path.

03

Volunteers

Got skills or time to give? We're looking for barbers, mentors, and community members to teach, guide, and show these young people what's possible.
