Meet the team

Chad Nicholson

Owner of originally Scenic Cutz Barbershop, now Scenic Studios . Filipino-American Born and raised in LA — Lower Akron — Born in ’94 with a love for creativity and good vibes! I’m a proud Army veteran, a U of A alum in Mechanical Engineering, and now I’ve channeled that same precision and drive into the barber game.

Outside the shop, you’ll find me riding my motorcycle, watching anime, or shooting pool as the captain of my APA billiards team. I’m all about chill energy, real conversations, and making sure every client leaves feeling sharp and respected.

Brandon coughenour

Born and raised in Norton, I’ve always believed a great haircut can change more than just your look — it can shift your whole mood. When I’m not behind the chair, you’ll find me front row at a concert, soaking up everything from pop hooks to punk riffs and country ballads. I bring that same energy into every cut — laid-back, sharp, and always dialed in. Whether you're after a fresh fade, a classic trim, or something bold, I’ve got you covered. Let’s turn the ordinary into badass.

We’re looking for a talented barber, nail tech, braider, or stylist to join our team — but this isn’t just about a chair. This is about creating a “second-family” culture. Our studio is built on mentorship, creativity, and real camaraderie. Whether you're sharpening your skills or bringing your own style to the table, we’ve created a space where beauty professionals can grow, vibe, and level up together. If you’re all about precision, passion, and positive energy — you’ll fit right in.
