Gerardo's story
That future started in a local barbershop.
Growing up as one of seven siblings, Gerardo learned early that nothing in life would be handed to him.
But he knew he wanted to build something different for himself and his future family.
That future started in a local barbershop.He watched his parents sacrifice everything they could to give their children opportunities they never had themselves.
For the first time, Gerardo saw barbering as more than just a job. It was a skill no one could ever take away from him.
While most kids his age were hanging out after school, Gerardo was focused on learning a craft and creating opportunity for himself. Motivated by his parents' sacrifices to put him through barber school, he took barbering seriously from day one.
In the early years, Gerardo was cutting nonstop, fueled by the belief that hard work and consistency would eventually pay off. The harder he worked, the more opportunity he created for himself.
