Hey, I’m Rommel, a 32-year-old Filipino barber with a story to tell. My journey in the world of barbering has been a wild ride, but through it all, my passion for the craft has kept me going strong.

Growing up in the Philippines, life was tough, and I needed to find a way to make ends meet. That’s when I stumbled into the world of barbering, which has changed my life. What began as a way to pay the bills soon turned into something so much more. A long standing passion.

My journey hasn’t been the easiest. Through trying to set up shop on my own, I’ve faced my fair share of challenges along the way. Every setback only fueled my determination, and it’s that resilience that’s brought me to where I am today.

One of the turning points in my career came when I decided to start offering haircuts from my own home. It was a humble beginning, but with the support of my loved ones, especially my partner who gifted me my first set of clippers, I found the confidence to chase my dreams. Before I knew it, I was building a mini-shop in my backyard. Eagerly welcoming clients and honing my skills with each haircut.

My journey as a barber has been deeply influenced by my personal history, especially my relationship with my father. His lessons in hard work and determination have guided me, pushing me to always strive for greatness. It’s that drive for excellence that led me to Chaps & Co. Here I found a home among fellow barbers who share my passion for the craft.

For me, barbering is more than just a profession—it’s a calling, a source of inspiration, and a lifelong pursuit of mastery. With each haircut, I aim to bring not just skill and expertise, but a genuine love for the craft that resonates with every client I serve. And as I continue on this journey of growth and learning, I’m excited to see where it takes me next, fueled by the opportunity to excel alongside my fellow barbers at Chaps & Co.
