The Art of Shaving

THE ART OF BARBERING WITH JOSE

We sat down recently with one of our Master Barbers, Jose, who has been with us for 10 years. He talks about his journey and craft. Watch the video to learn Jose’s secrets of barbering.

On the Legacy Behind His Craft:

My biggest inspiration is my daughter. She is into special effects makeup. For the movies. She sees how hard I’ve worked to learn my craft, and it inspires me to see her now starting to learn a craft of her own.

On Mastering An Art:

I think of myself as an artist. I am constantly searching for inspiration, and working to get closer to perfection in my craft. Sometimes people hear that and then they ask me what I do, and they are surprised when I tell them I’m a barber. My art impacts the way I see the world. When I walk around, everything I see is haircuts. I’ll notice a jacket, or a watch, and then I’ll realize It’s actually the haircut that caught me, because it’s the cut that starts the look and makes it all work. People take pride in the way they look, whether they are going on vacation, going to work, meeting someone new… That’s why I take my work very seriously.
