My name is Younes, I am 27 years old and originally from Morocco. I have been cutting hair for 12 years. When I finished school I began to learn how to cut ladies’ hair in a salon and studied for 2 years to get my certificate. I then decided I wanted to diversify, so I took a position in a unisex salon. Soon after this decision I had clarity that barbering was what I wanted to focus on. I worked with various companies to develop the relevant skill. I worked hard to get myself to a competent level and then decided I was ready to move countries to progress in my career. I decided to visit Dubai to see if it was somewhere I’d like to work. As soon as I arrived I started looking for work. I spent 3 years figuring out the way of life and developing my English skills, and I was lucky to receive an opportunity to work in Abu Dhabi. I learnt many skills over a period of 4 years, and that’s when my loyal clients told me about Chaps & Co and that they were coming to Abu Dhabi. Knowing me so well, my clients believed I would fit with the brand. I was so excited to get an interview, of which I passed, and soon started training in Dubai. I passed the training and I’m grateful to be working within such a professional organisation. The team and services really inspire me, and I’m looking forward to progressing with the team and also with my personal goals.
