Co-owners Sam Fakhoury and Moustafa Elbaadwihi took over a struggling barbershop and transformed it into Kingsmen Barbershop, a premium grooming brand fit for kings. At their Bukit Damansara location, Kingsmen is redefining what it means to step into a barbershop, with an experience designed to relax, refresh, and recharge the modern gentleman.

In this episode, Directors Sam (CEO) and Moustafa (CFO) share how they combined their backgrounds in engineering and finance with a passion for craftsmanship to build a thriving business. They discuss their decision to stay hands-on, with Sam being both CEO and barber, and how that shapes everything from customer relationships to team culture.
