My name is Amir and I’m originally from Damascus in Syria. I’ve been in the hair industry for over 15 years, having started at the young age of 13 years old. I began to cut hair in my cousins barbershop on my days off from school. Once I left school I went to collage to learn my qualification. I studied for one year before I was drafted to the military. I spent two and a half years in the military, and in 2007 I moved to Abu Dhabi. Back working in the hair industry, I worked in various locations for many years perfecting my trade. However, I never felt like I was settled. In 2019, I applied for a job with Chaps and Co because I wanted to learn the luxurious way of barbering, and I knew this was the place to be. I’m so grateful for this opportunity. Since becoming a team member I’ve learned so much about the trade from both a customer service and skills perspective. I like how much the services are focused on making the client experience amazing. I’m looking forward to a long future with Chaps and I can’t wait to see where the journey takes me. I take a lot of pride in my work and am very proud to be involved with such an amazing company.
