Meet Dave Peters. The Barber that's changing Pittsburgh. (Coast to Almost) - EP 70

This week on the Dammit Danii Podcast, Danii and Chris are back with Coast to Almost and sit down with Dave Peters—aka Pittsburgh Dave—a barber, educator, and community leader who’s using his craft to make real change. A 2022 Indie Stylist of the Year and owner of Steel City Barber Lounge, Dave talks about choosing barbering as a career, why the industry demands constant learning, and how in a space like this you either adapt or get left behind.

Dave dives into the charity work closest to his heart, including partnering with Steelers Cam Heyward and programs like Suit Up for Success, where 31 high school seniors are given suits and guidance on career paths, and Get a Suit, Give a Suit, providing suits, haircuts, and professional headshots. They talk about the importance of putting young men on the right track, leading by example, and the responsibility that comes with being someone people look up to.

Of course, it’s not all serious—there’s talk of tooth pain and dental surgery being the absolute worst, Chris earning his title as the king of snacks, Dave’s beef with barber school versus mentorship, celebrity clients in his chair, and what it’s like attending the world’s largest barber expo. All that and more on this week's episode of the Dammit Danii Podcast!
