Cody Wait

Master Barber - Laurelwood (East)

When did you start working at Pavo:
March 2025.

My previous jobs:
My first job was as a stylist at Mint Julep Salon in Franklin, TN, in 2017. I transitioned into barbering and became a Master Barber/Stylist at Scouts Barbershop in Nashville, TN, in 2020.

My hometown and places I have lived:
My hometown is Hickory Flat, MS. I grew up in Memphis, and I’ve lived in Nashville for the past 12 years.

I decided to become a barber because:
Being a barber and working in this industry was something I wanted to do since I was a kid. I was truly made for the industry because I talk too much for any other profession. Being able to connect with clients and help create a style or look they want is what I really enjoy.

Who is your dream client and why:
Timothy Chalamet. He likes to change his look and try new things, and he has great hair.

My professional goal is:
To create a signature service, style, and vibe that is memorable and can’t be replicated is something I have worked on since I began doing hair and I want to continue to build on that.

What I want every client to know about me:
I’m a really good trivia teammate and know a lot of random facts. The only TV channel I know is Bravo. I AM THE BEYHIVE!

If you aren’t at the salon, where else can you be found:
Hanging with my dog, Mickey. He loves car rides and pup cups, so we make lots of Starbucks runs!
