Met: November 2011, at âThe Shopâ barbershop on 1st Ave North, in Birmingham.Â
It was love at first cut for these two. LaToya was a recent divorcee and had just moved back to Birmingham after having lived in Alaska on military assignment with her ex-husband. LaToya said she was feeling blue but was in need of a good cut so she headed to the shop where she knew she could find a great barber.
When she sat in Felandoâs chair there was an instant connection, LaToya said.Â
âI was going through a hard time and I guess he could kind of feel that I was down, and he [was able to make me] â¦,â LaToya said. âThere was an instant connection, we started seeing each other and he became a listening ear for me.âÂ
