My name is Ben, I’m 26 years old with 12 years’ experience in the hair world. I originally started in my hometown of Macedonia in 2009 after completing high school. Becoming a barber was always a goal of mine; even when I was in school it’s all I used to think about. I started my career in a local salon in my hometown where I spent 8 years there learning various aspects of the hair industry, including hairdressing and barbering. I found being a barber was an easy process in relating to my customer because I’m male too. I then relocated to Dubai because I believed it would be a place that I could build my future. On arrival, I found my ground by working with 3 different companies. Although I appreciated the experience, I was still searching for where I’d be best suited. When I came across Chaps and Co I instantly felt at home and I’m extremely proud that I was even considered for an interview. In my opinion, Chaps is the biggest company in Dubai. This is confirmed to me by the amount of room for progress there is, as I search to make my dream become a reality. Since being a part of the team, I have been exposed to the values of what it takes to run a world class business and each day I continue to learn from each team member.
