My name is John. I am 24 years old and have more than 8 years’ experience in the hair industry. I was very young when I started in a salon beside my house in my hometown of Uzbekistan Namangan. At the young age of 12 years old I felt passionate towards the industry. Within a very short time I began shaving with perfect competence. However being great at shaving wasn’t all I wanted to achieve. I focused on all avenues of barbering; my favourite part of the job is making people look and feel good. I was very happy with the 6 years I spent in my first place of work. I gained a lot of experience and knowledge that opened doors for me to travel to Moscow to compete in a Russian hair competition, which was an incredible experienced that allowed me to grow. This gave me the opportunity to stay In Russia and work in various locations to improve myself. I used this experience and knowledge to open my own barbershop in my home country. I created a successful business, which I outsource to my full competent team who I have taken a lot of pride in preparing. My team back home allow me to travel the world to learn various avenues of knowledge and work on an international scale. This has allowed me to engage with Chaps and Co. Since joining the team I look forward to the relaxed working environment and learning about different cultures when working along side multiple nationalities. I’m looking froward to where this journey takes me. Self-motivation and discipline has always been a key focus to me. In my spare time I focus on my MMA career and the values of this sport allow me to perform my best in work and life.
