"Hairstylist" Sold Drugs Not Haircuts

A Chicago gang banger's "makeover" wasn't fooling anyone, including a judge.

John Brown attempted to hide the fact that he was a Gangster Disciple and big crack cocaine supplier by opening a hair salon called Beautiful Imagez in Englewood in 2005, feds said. But he was more of a pusher than a trimmer and on Thursday, Brown pleaded guilty to drug charges.

The kingpin hairstylist may find plenty of prison pals looking for a nice hair-do.


my favorite parts: "he was more of a pusher than a trimmer..." and "Beautiful Imagez."

nice.
