My name is Freddie, I am originally from the Philippines. I’ve been cutting hair now for 15 years and counting. When I left school I moved to the capital Manila with my brother to perfect my trade; it was an intense process but I picked it up quickly. The years I spent educating myself were some of the best times of my life. It was nice to be taught by my brother, but I decided I needed to explore other opportunities. I have many siblings in the same trade and I used this to my advantage to work in various barbershops. It was another great part of my journey as it furthered my education and experience. I knew I was made for this job so I decided to take a leap and see the world. One of my friends from the Philippines told me about Chaps and Co. When Chaps reached out to me it really changed my life. I’m so grateful to be on this journey because every day I learn something new and try to push myself. Working for Chaps brings me endless excitement.
