BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Co-owner of Chiefs' Barber Parlour, Jesse Ciffa, has been nominated for two categories in the One Shot Hair Awards.
He's one of 300,000 people from 80 different countries.
"Last year, I had one of my shops go top five in the world for fade," Ciffa said. "Hopefully, we're going to get first place this year."

Ciffa said his love of cutting hair all started in his grandfather's basement.
"It's kind of a family business," he explained. "When I first started cutting, I was cutting out of his basement and using a lot of the same tools he was using and kind of transferred that into all this."

Chiefs' Barber Parlour has become a popular spot with some high-profile clients, including Josh Allen and other members of the Buffalo Bills.
Ciffa said he couldn't do it without his team.
"We always say iron sharpens iron and I wouldn't be where I'm at today without any of these guys," he shared. "They all build me up every day."
