About Scott Anthony

My journey as a barber started twenty-one years ago as I had completed my tour of duty in the US Army. I always knew barbering was a passion that needed to be explored and so I began an apprenticeship at a small but vibrant barbershop in Cranston, RI called Joe’s Salon. Real-world learning solidified my desire to make this not just a job but my career. In 2003 I opened my first shop, Kingdom Cuts, in Pawtucket, RI and in 2008 I opened Scott Anthony’s first in Milford, MA and then at its present location in East Providence, RI.Recognizing the importance of education in developing this craft, I worked as a barber instructor in Rhode Island and was a director of a barbering school in Fitchburg, MA at Alexander Academy and assistant barber instructor at Major League Barber Academy in West Haven, CT. I also served with the Massachusetts Barber Board in revising the regulations for the industry.From this vantage point, I could see new trends and growth in the barber industry and was able to participate in a number of events designed to showcase the impact of barbering in the modern world. I was awarded first place in both the Massachusetts and New York barber competitions/battles. Served as a judge at the world-famous CT Barber Expo and at regional competitions and expos in Worcester, MA and Providence, RI. My talents were employed at the International Beauty Show in New York City and the America's Beauty Show in Chicago representing Oster as a platform artist and as the personal barber to actor Frank Grillo on the set of the film The Purge. My work has been featured in Master Barber Magazine, Solid Gold Magazine and as Barber of the Month on BarbershopConnect.com.Never being content to stand still, I have always been looking to improve myself and my craft, always learning, always growing. From my many years of working trade shows, I admired the American Crew product and presentation. I loved watching their platform artists and was drawn to their image and branding. I told myself, “I am going to be a part of this amazing team!” It took some time and dedication on my part, but I am proud to say I succeeded and I am making an impact on men's grooming with American Crew! Now i am excited to educate new students in my industry.
