My name is Freddie, I am originally from the Philippines. I’ve been cutting hair now for 15 years and counting. When I left school I moved to the capital Manila with my brother to perfect my trade; it was an intense process but I picked it up quickly. The years I spent educating myself were some of the best times of my life. It was nice to be taught by my brother, but I decided I needed to explore other opportunities. I have many siblings in the same trade and I used this to my advantage to work in various barbershops. It was another great part of my journey as it furthered my education and experience. I knew I was made for this job so I decided to take a leap and see the world. One of my friends from the Philippines told me about Chaps & Co. When Chaps reached out to me it really changed my life. I’m so grateful to be on this journey because every day I learn something new and try to push myself. Working for Chaps brings me endless excitement.
