Dax is a native of the Potrero Hill Projects in San Francisco. He found himself dealing dope at the age of 14 and a father of three at 17. Dax had very few options growing up and could have easily have become a statistic. He joined a barber college and got his license to start cutting hair. Now the owner of Platinum Barber shop located on 291 Ellis Street in the Tenderloin Dax, chooses to give back to the community and his family.
