Daniel Suarez, also known as, "Barber Dan" 

Barber Dan is a talented, young barber, born and raised in Hayward, California. Barber Dan has over 8 years of experience cutting & styling hair. Before becoming a barber, Dan pursued a Psychology degree at San Jose State University. He started practicing his hair cutting skills during his college days. As the years went by, he became better and more talented cutting hair, while being an excel student at SJSU. Although Dan achieved great accomplishments at SJSU, he felt his potential wasn't accomplished just yet. As a result, Barber Dan applied to barber school right after receiving his college degree at The Barber Academy San Jose. At this point, he knew that his passion to be a barber was his true calling and was anxious to be officially licensed. After countless studying, Barber Dan took the state exam and earned his license. He figured that the next step would be to work at a barbershop, where he could expand his social and hair cutting skills. From the get-go, he knew that The Groomsmen Barbershop in Hayward, would be the perfect fit to achieve his goals. As a result, it has been. As the years went by, Barber Dan came up with a brilliant idea to create his own hair products. With the help of his business partner, Vega, they were able to create their masterpiece.  

 

Cristian Vega, more commonly known as, "Vega"

 

Vega, is an astonishing barber out of the Bay Area. He has over 10+ plus years of experience cutting hair. Vega began his barbering journey in high school, not knowing where life would take him. Therefore, he began cutting his friends hair out of his home periodically. For a first timer, he was very skilled and his friends and family knew that he had a natural born talent to pick up some clippers and make a transformation. As for Vega, he was pleased to know that he had a true calling for being a barber and being able to make someone feel good about themselves. As Vega had stated before,“I love making people look good and feel good , that smile after their cut is priceless." This statement is what led Vega to pursue his barbering career. After years of building his clientele out of his home, Vega knew he had potential to expand in his career. Thus, he decided to take a leap of faith and get his barbering license at The Barber Academy San Jose . After a few months of tallying up his hours and practicing for the barber state exam, it was time for him to be fully licensed. And so he was licensed and started working at a shop in the heart of the Bay, The Groomsmen Barbershop. Three years passed, and Vega had a desire to achieve another one of his dreams, which is start his own hair products. Barber Dan brought up the idea and Vega agreed and they both decided to take it to the next step. They knew this wasn’t going to be an easy task, but like anything in this life, you have to put in the work, stay consistent, stay motivated and never doubt the outcome!
