Akoni is the Founder and Lead Barber of Nights Faded, a brand built on passion, resilience, and a vision for timeless craftsmanship. His journey began humbly in middle school, armed with a pair of Conair clippers and a spark of curiosity. When his mom encouraged him to cut his own hair, Akoni discovered his love for barbering. Late-night haircuts for friends, often stretching into the early hours, became a routine—and the foundation for what would eventually become Nights Faded. From those grassroots beginnings, Akoni’s entrepreneurial spirit took hold. His drive to grow and refine his craft led to the opening of Nights Faded’s flagship location in December 2020, amid the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. Today, Nights Faded stands as a testament to Akoni’s dedication, evolving from a DIY hustle to a thriving barbershop and tattoo studio that celebrates hard work, creativity, and community.
