Hey, I’m Miguel! I’ve been a barber for a year now, and the journey has been nothing short of amazing.
From day one, I’ve been lucky enough to apprentice with Atypical Men’s Grooming, where I’ve trained under the Vidal Sassoon foundations, honing precision and creativity in every cut.
What I love most about barbering is the connection I get to build with each client, transforming not only their look but also how they feel. Meeting new people, forming lasting relationships, and creating a positive experience with every visit is what drives me.
Whether you’re a regular or it’s your first time in the chair, I’m here to make sure you leave looking and feeling your best!
