“I Leave Him Less Bald..”: LeBron James, Who Recently Shook the Internet “Embracing His Inner Michael Jordan”, Once Had His Barber Sweating in Pressure Over His Haircut

LeBron James shook up the NBA world again. This time it was not with any mesmerizing play or shocking move, but by changing his hairstyle and going completely bald. It is said that he embraced his inner Michael Jordan. But once LeBron gave his private barber a scare, and he had him sweating in pressure.

Throughout his NBA career, LeBron has made fun of his teammates, players, and fans about his receding hairline. It started during his early days in Cleveland, where there were patches. Later, when he went to Miami, fans noted that LeBron used a headband to cover up his hairline as much as possible.

Despite the calls, LeBron refused to go bald and kept trying to fix it. In his second stint at the Cavs, it worsened, and the fans begged him to go bald. And after years of requests, LeBron finally agreed, and he went completely bald.

LeBron James met his private barber during his time in Miami

During all years, LeBron has stuck with one barber; Nick Castemanos. LeBron first met him in Miami, courtesy of his friend Dwyane Wade. Castemanos first started getting NBA players as clients in the early 2000s. Wade was his first big client, and over the years his roster grew. Even Kobe Bryant and Spike Lee used to visit Castemanos.

LeBron has been a client for Castemanos since 2010 and the pair hit it off instantly. In 2014, LeBron asked Castemanos to become his private barber and move to Cleveland. And he obliged.

Back in 2015, he was asked how LeBron is specific about his hairstyle, and he said, “LeBron is very tedious about how his hair is cut. The beard is the No. 1 thing. He leaves the top up to me. I leave him less bald. He’s my guy.”
