Around The Block with Kevin "Cottie" Tan - The Oven's Barber
Kevin "Cottie" Tan started his career in barbering from first making his own hair product, Mentaga (Bahasa Malaysia for Butter). One barber saw the passion and potential in Cottie and set him up on the path that would one day lead to the opening of The Oven Cuttery. Cottie's clients (creatives, hipsters, men, women, and the like) come into The Oven tired and weary of everyday life. On Cottie's chair, each client gets a hot towel treatment, a fresh cut, and a slather of Mentega before you’re pushed fresh out of the oven for whatever lies ahead!
“It’s like having my clients come in, like fresh toast. You know, when you come in you get a hot towel, you get a fresh cut like you’re in the oven. Then I put Mentega, which is butter, on “toast” after and we send you out - fresh out of the oven.”
