A star is born


My next stop is Virginia Beach to sit and talk with Leo Hilliard…"Mickey" is what they call him. Mickey is the owner of Millenium Quality Styles for Women and Men. When I walked in Mickey was hard at it, making magic as things seem to just fall in place. On the drive up I figured I would just meet just another barber, boy was I wrong. Mickey has a great setup. He even had a Mickey's "Hall of Fame". The wall was covered with local newsclippings featuring his awesome, one of a kind work. A great speciality service available is eyebrow arching. Mickey is a haircare professional who has taken his business to the next level by smart advertisement. I was really impressed with his business literature by way of business cards and stylish flyers. In addition, his clients are walking billboards showcasing his work and advertising by word of mouth. Mickey has been featured in numerous mainstream hair magazines.

Fantasy Magazine

All this and somehow he remains humble, grounded in his work. When asked the question, "What is one thing that separates your business from the others?" Mickey: I focus on quality and not quantity. Every style is a master piece, his artwork! Leo "Mickey" Hilliard
