ERICK RUIZ
I am from the Seattle Washington area. I’ve been a barber for 2 years, I love to travel & take classes to develop my craft. I believe education is key & is something I am passionate about. In the near future I plan to keep traveling and sharing my knowledge with others & trying to build the culture while still expanding my brand back in my home state & building there as well.
CAM MAHAR
My name is Cam Mahar. I’m currently graduating high school this week and I been cutting hair since the age of 12. I work out of Fraktel NY along side my mentor Zach Ramsey. For the future my plans are to branch off of the shop and create the new standard of barbering across the globe and educate as many people possible. I look forward to seeing this in the next 5 years to see where we will be standing on the map.
ALEJANDRO
Hello, I’m Alejandro Valencia and I’m 23 years old. I started cutting hair when I was 14 years old while I was in high school. Then I trained as a hairdresser for several years in Spain. Now I've traveled to different cities, teaching hairdressing courses to others hairdressers and barbers. I currently work as a teacher for BRAIN ON ACADEMY, in Seville (Spain). In the future I'd like to create new haircut and hairstyle trends for the most important fashion brands.
DOM CLUCAS
I got into barbering because I loved getting creative with hair. I love fading, and making people feel their absolute best. Since graduating in 2018, the dream has evolved into something more, something bigger than just cutting the hair. My focus is creating a culture. Bringing people in my community together. Now it's about creating a legacy.
COLE BUERKLE
My name is Cole Buerkle. I am 33 years old and have been a licensed barber in Denver Colorado for almost 4 years. I specialize in short hair and approach every haircut with a technical aspect while personalizing it to each client’s head. I am so happy and humbled to be a part of the sharp fade freshman class! So many great people have been a part of this opportunity. It’s a great feeling to be considered among such talent. Photography is another art form that I can use, enjoy and then add to my work. I am grateful that people like my work and look forward to further developing my skills. I hope in the years to come that I can still build relationships with other barbers and stylists within the industry. Whether it’s traveling as an artist for a company, educational opportunities etc. I just want to stay true to why I started in the first place while continuing to push myself towards new goals.
