Visiting friends in Phoenix, Arizona was a blast! We had a chance to watch Arizona State and the University of Arizona battle it out at Sun Devil Football Stadium, hike along the beautiful trails that surround the city, have a late-November grill-out, and see the Havocs in action at Grand Canyon University Arena. What a trip!
Along with all that excitement, I had the chance to visit AZ Barber Studio where Chan the Barber worked his craft giving me a great haircut, beard trim, and even a nose peel. Chan the Barber is from Native American heritage and his tribe is from Yuma, Arizona. I got the sense that it was a huge leap of faith for him to follow his passion for barbering to Phoenix. He is all-in with the craft and does an outstanding job of marketing himself both online and in the shop. You will notice his customized jacket. He is very motivated and is also investing in his knowledge on the business side of the industry. The sky is the limit for Chan the barber.
The entire team at AZ Barber Studio is upbeat, energetic, and outstanding at their craft. They are encouraging each other and a ton of fun to be around.
