Way is an entrepreneur himself who started and owns his own successful chain of unique barber shops called Never Say Cutz[5] which has also become a successful brand, NVSC Supply Co., with their own line of hair products, apparel collection and more - as described by Vice Magazine "This whole trend started with Never Say Cutz—a spot that popularized the whole notion of a hip barbershop in the first place. That shop has a more hip-hop feel to it. The shop is associated with the Thai rap group Thaitaninum. Today, it's Bangkok's flagship barbershop."[6]
