RuckKuts

Hey all! I’m Antoine M Rucker Jr. a passionate Master Barber proudly serving the greater Cincinnati, Ohio area. My journey began over three years ago watching my cousin Keno work his magic in his Cleveland shop. I’ll never forget how my dad’s “chili bowl” haircut in middle school made me the target of teasing—so I set out to upgrade my image and my hair care routine.

By 10th grade, I mastered the art of waves and noticed both my confidence—and everyone else’s perception—transform. After high school, I perfected my craft under Cousin Keno’s guidance and discovered my calling. At Ohio University in 2005, I taught myself cutting techniques and offered free trims to friends. “Ruck Kuts” quickly became the campus go-to, and I charged just $5 per cut.

Today, I’m a proud 2025 graduate of Forest Park Barber Academy and a licensed barber through the Ohio State Board of Barber & Cosmetology. Every cut I give builds on years of practice and my love for helping you look and feel your best. Whether you’re after classic waves, a modern fade, or a clean, sharp style, I’m here to help you step out with confidence.
