The inspiring story of Jimmy Ofuoyan’s resilient rise to fame has continued to inspire global headlines, and this time, his uncommon expertise caught the recognition of one of the world’s most popular style magazines, The Barber Today.

Being featured by The Barber Today, an independent magazine dedicated to showcasing the best barbers and barbershops worldwide, Ofuoyan said, is a validation of his rise as one of the world’s renowned hairstylists, putting Nigeria in the great spotlight as a people with creative minds.

Ofuoyan’s indomitable spirit pulled him through the most difficult circumstances any human could ever face in life. He left home as a young lad, and his journey to find purpose in Italy led him to a place of prominence as a stylist.

After surmounting initial hurdles in Italy, Jimmy Ofuoyan’s craft quickly set him apart as the best, so much so they crowned him as the undisputable barber king in the Pescara province. He founded 360kuts and it quickly became a home for footballers and top celebrities.

Ofuoyan has moved from the corner of a street in Nigeria to the runways of Europe’s most prestigious fashion shows, transforming models and celebrities, including the most followed TikTokker, Khaby Lame. The Nigerian has carved out a remarkable place and niche for himself in the world of barbering, earning respect and reputation among the international elite class.

Based in Italy, but Jimmy Ofuoyan’s clippers have given him a passport to the rest of the world. Through sheer hard work and consistency, he has built 360kuts into an enviable brand reckoned with in Europe. His continuous presence in international fashion shows represents his successful push of creative boundaries and a confirmation of how far he has come.

The Nigerian’s growing influence extends far beyond the barber’s chair and transcends animating artists and those who dream like he did.

“Every haircut is an opportunity to transform someone, not just how they look, but how they feel. That transformation is what drives me every single day,” Ofuoyan said.
