From the tender age of six, Ilias would watch in awe as his mother, a seasoned hairdresser, gracefully wielded her scissors and razors in her bustling salon in Greece. It was in this salon that Ilias discovered his passion for barbering. He spent countless hours observing, absorbing, and eventually, practicing his craft on willing friends and family members. With each snip and trim, his confidence grew, and it wasn’t long before his peers sought him out as their permanent barber.

At the age of 18, Ilias embarked on a new journey, enlisting in the military as required by Greek law. Far from home, amidst the camaraderie of fellow soldiers, he honed his skills even further, earning a reputation for his precision and efficiency in grooming in the military.

Upon completing his military service, Ilias returned to his hometown, eager to immerse himself once again in the world of barbering. He worked tirelessly in various barbershops, then in 2006, at the youthful age of 23, Ilias seized the opportunity to open his own barbershop, alongside his sister, a licensed cosmetologist. Together, they navigated the intricacies of business ownership.

Despite his thriving career in Greece, Ilias felt a pull toward new horizons. His thirst for growth and exploration led him to make a life-changing decision to relocate to the bustling metropolis of New York City.

In the vibrant streets of New York, Ilias found a new canvas for his artistry. He immersed himself in the city’s diverse culture, taking workshops and seminars to stay at the forefront of hair trends. With each haircut, he brought his signature blend of precision, creativity, and personalized attention, earning a loyal following of clients who marveled at his crisp scissor cuts and expert razor techniques.

Ilias’s journey from a small town in Greece to the heart of the Big Apple was a testament to his unwavering passion, relentless dedication, and boundless creativity. In every snip of the scissors and every stroke of the razor, he continued to weave his legacy as a master barber, leaving behind a trail of satisfied clients and a story that echoed across continents.
