Had the honor of trimming Aiemann Zahabi’s beard before his fight against Jose Aldo in Montreal. Humble, grateful, and locked in—this wasn’t just a cut, it was part of the mindset.
UFC fighter Chris “The Action Man” Curtis credited Claudio Ferreira and Fade Room Barbershop in Toronto for his fresh fight‑night haircut after his win over Marc‑André Barriault, even giving the shop a shoutout on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani.
Önder Doğan, known by his stage name Murda, recently brought his tour to Toronto, where Claudio Ferreira stepped in to provide sharp haircuts for him and his team.

I had the honor of cutting Dricus Du Plessis’ hair before his fight in Toronto. As the first African UFC champion, he connected with my Portuguese heritage and shared stories from his time in Africa. I gifted him some of my products and told him I believed he’d win, even as the underdog. His calm, focused energy during the cut made me feel he was ready — and he proved it by becoming the new middleweight UFC champion. I’m grateful I got to play a small part in his fight‑week journey.
Traveling to cut hair for comedian Matt Rife has always been an exciting experience, but my recent trip to Los Angeles for the "Netflix Is A Joke" show was particularly special. Not only did I get to style Matt Rife's hair, but I also had the pleasure of cutting hair for Martin Amini, who was an opener for Matt at the show.
