A Cut Above: Teddie Kossof is Known for More Than Just Haircuts

Teddie Kossof’s office is packed with knickknacks and tchotchkes, artwork he admires and mixed-medium pieces he created.

Pictures of his family line the wall behind his desk, which is covered in figurines of mythical creatures and personal mementos. Among the statues sits a small, unassuming flip picture frame open to a photograph from August 2, 1988. In the picture, Kossof stands in front of a large gray and black van. A young man in a wheelchair sits next to him, and they smile as they each give the camera a thumbs up. The boy is the son of a regular client from his salon, and after a football accident left him in a wheelchair, Kossof raised $45,000 to buy him a van he could use to get to school.
