Welcome to Dapper Sapper, where looking good & feeling good help us do good daily. Our mission is simple: to deliver top notch products that our customers can wear with pride, confidence, & purpose.
 

Our founder, Branden Turner, took a path familiar to many, one marked by challenges & hard lessons. Raised around gang life, violence, & crime, Branden made a life-changing decision in 2009 at the age of 20: he joined the United States Army to serve his country & pursue a better future to be proud of.

While serving as a Combat Engineer (Sapper), Branden began cutting hair in 2012 out of necessity. Whether in the U.S., Kuwait, Iraq, or Afghanistan, he sharpened his skills by handing out fades to his fellow Soldiers who had no access to barbers. In 2016, he earned his Sapper Leader Tab, a symbol of elite leadership & grit. In 2017, he combined his love for the craft, his pride in the Sapper community, and his drive for entrepreneurship into a brand: Dapper Sapper. In 2023, he earned a Master’s of science in business management to help grow his businesses. In 2025, he also started the turn culture llc.
 

Dapper Sapper is more than a name,  it’s a mindset. We promote positivity, patience, and perseverance, and we aim to inspire our community to become the best versions of themselves. We're proudly Veteran owned and operated, and committed to helping others “always look cool” while doing good.
