THE COLLECTION THE COLLECTION
Branded with the signature Popular Nobody “Atlas” Gorilla logo and a design based on a one-of-a-kind, hand-painted colorway by B. Clark Customs™, this special-edition release includes custom versions of the Master® Cordless Clipper, the Envy® Li Clipper, and the Slimline ® Pro Trimmer.
Each tool for this collaboration was chosen by John with professional creators in mind. It combines some of Andis’ best-selling tools with the imagination and style of the Popular Nobody brand wrapped using fresh, modern colors, and a surprise black light glow design. Tools in the collection include:
Master Cordless Clipper
Andis Company’s most popular professional clipper, The Master Cordless, offers high-speed power, constant speed technology, and an adjustable blade for unbeatable precision that make it perfect for skin-tight fades and tapers. With a 90-minute cordless runtime and a durable aluminum housing, the Master Cordless Clipper delivers premier-quality cuts with the aesthetic edge of Popular Nobody style.
Envy Li Clipper
With two hours of cordless runtime on a 90-minute charge, the super lightweight cordless Envy Li Clipper is designed with the craft in mind. The lightweight design is ideal for smaller hands and for comfortable all-day use. Decked in a unique Popular Nobody colorway, this clipper embodies creative freedom.
Slimline Pro Trimmer
A sleek, lightweight profile and extra-sharp carbonsteel T-blade mean this trimmer was built for ultraclose, precision detailing. The Slimline Pro Trimmer boasts an ergonomic design perfect for controlled outlining, designing and touchups on the neckline. Also showcasing the Popular Nobody graphics, this trimmer completes this incredible, artful set of tools. John said: “With the Master Cordless I get the workhorse, the power and speed to do the heavy lifting, the blunt cuts. With the Envy, I have a tool that allows me to refine the style and achieve a softer finish as well as point cut.
"The Slimline Pro is a fantastic all-around trimmer and I love the way the longer body allows me to trim and keep my large hands a little further from the client’s face."
CLIPPERS WITH A CAUSE!
John is committed to giving back to his community and he has pledged $10,000 of the proceeds from this collaboration to ‘A Change is Coming’, a Texas-based 501c non-profit foundation that provides scholarships to Black and Brown youth. Andis will also be making a matching grant of $10,000 through its Andis Foundation to support the group’s work.
Of the donation, John said: “There comes a point in your career where you realize your success wouldn’t have been possible without someone else helping you. As an Andis Global Educator, I have seen how teaching others to be successful makes a difference. This creative collab with Andis is a great expression of artistry and giving back and A Change Is Coming is the perfect partner to benefit from this project.”
Available while supplies last, these limited-edition tools will be sold separately on the Popular Nobody website (thepopularnobody.com)

WHAT DOES THE 'V' STAND FOR?
In 1999, our founder and CEO, Jim Valenzuela opened the very first V’s Barbershop in Phoenix, Arizona. The “V” comes from his last name and is now on the front of every single shop.
FUN FACT: All of his college buddies called him “V”... so you could say the nickname stuck.
WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR CHAIRS ?
Five lucky barbers within the V’s Barbershop family recently won an all expenses paid trip to the Old School Barber Academy in Rotterdam, Netherlands. The winners sold the most Reuzel products throughout all of the V's Barbershop locations, from August through December of 2022.
This past February, three of those barbers, Laura Summers (Midtown Little Rock, AR), Rogelio Lopez (Campbell, CA) and Challes Lofton (Joplin, MO), spent three days learning highlevel barbering techniques from industry leaders, spending time with the co-founders of Reuzel, Leen and Rob, and experiencing what many barbers would call a trip of a lifetime. This coming May, Logan Norris (Arcadia Phoeniz, AZ) and Michael LaTurner (Joplin, MO) will fly out to Rotterdam as well and partake in the same barber training program.
We can’t give away all the secrets... but we will say it has definitely been a labor of love! We've spent the past 25 years scouring want ads, shut down schools and shops. We've worked with a variety of restoration experts to curate what is most likely the world’s largest collection of authentic antique chairs.
