While attending, Paschal’s long-time friend and client – 2-time NBA All-Star Terrell Brandon – approached him with the idea of assisting in the design of and eventually managing a high-end barbershop in the heart of the city. Paschal accepted the offer, graduated, and took a job at Xpressions while the 3-year construction of the shop commenced, Dauntè’s career as a professional barber had officially begun.

In 1997, “Tee Bee’s” opened with wild success. With Paschal as the Master Barber, the shop became iconic within in the city, regularly attracting Blazers legends such as Scottie Pippen and Damon Stoudamire. Even as NBA players flew in from across the country looking for haircuts Paschal remained humble, organizing camps and charity events to give back to the community that had given him so much.
