VALDOSTA, Ga. – Valdosta State Athletics is excited to announce a new partnership with Faze 3 Barber Lounge that will provide exclusive benefits for Blazer student-athletes and the entire Valdosta State student body while creating exciting new fan experiences throughout the year.

Located at 406-H Northside Drive, Valdosta, GA 31602, Faze 3 Barber Lounge is a locally owned business dedicated to serving the Valdosta community, and this new partnership reflects a shared commitment to supporting Blazer students both on and off campus.

As part of the partnership, Faze 3 Barber Lounge is introducing Blazer Cut Thursdays, giving students a dedicated day each week to take advantage of special pricing.

"This partnership is about more than haircuts. It's about creating meaningful opportunities and enhancing the overall student experience," said Assistant Athletic Director Gregory Richard. "We're excited to partner with a locally owned business that believes in investing in our students and helping build a stronger connection between Valdosta State Athletics and the Valdosta community."

In addition to the student discounts, the partnership will feature unique in-game activations during the 2026-27 athletic season. Faze III Barber Lounge will host interactive pop-up barber shops during Valdosta State football and basketball games where students will have the opportunity to receive a free haircut while attending the game.

"A great haircut builds confidence, and confidence creates opportunities. We're proud to support VSU students by helping them look their best, feel their best, and perform at their best," added Brinson Bright. "Confidence starts in the chair. Excellence begins with believing in yourself."

Additional details regarding student discounts, Blazer Cut Thursdays, and the dates for the in-game pop-up barber shop experiences will be announced prior to the start of the 2026-27 academic year.
