The barber shop used to be greater than simply an area to get a hairstyle or cut; it was a center of the community where people came together to bond, to socialize, and to exchange suggestions.

About Me
I am currently licensed as a Master Barber and Cosmologist, as well as an aspiring photographer and influencer. I enjoy riding motorcycles, traveling, tattoos, and art. I want to help inspire and motivate others. At a very young age, I knew I didn't want to go to college or end up working your average 9-5 corporate job. So, when I graduated high school, I started working random jobs looking for the career path that would truly inspire me. My longest employer before hair was my father, who has been an entrepreneur most his life.
I started my career in the hair industry back in 2015 at the age of 19 by enrolling in a local barber school. It was a shot in the dark, but I quickly fell in love with the creativity, freedom, and traditions of the industry. I spent the next 6 years at Top-of-the-Line Barbershop in my hometown of Greece, NY. Then... there was a global pandemic that shut down salons and barbershops around the world. I decided to make the most of my time by going back to school at Shear Ego to get my Cosmetology license. This is when I decided it was time to relocate to Do or Dye Beauty & Barbershop to start focusing more on my new skill sets.
