№ 04 — The Story

Raised in the gutter.
Groomed like royalty.

I was born in Philly to a family from Cuba. I had a cousin open a barbershop when I was a teen and I noticed how the barbers were really close and comfortable, even when it came to expressing themselves through their cuts. That's when I fell in love with barbering and the vibe.

A barbershop should be a place where people can relax, be themselves, and talk about whatever they want without judgment. A place where people leave feeling brand new.

I began cutting my friends' hair until word spread. Saved up enough money and started recruiting barbers to help me out of my garage. More clients came, and I said — let's do it. Let's open a shop. The rest is history, by letting God lead the way and being faithful to him and his purpose.

★ Why the Raccoon ★

We chose the raccoon because everybody looked at us as misfeatured kids. We didn't fit in because of our backgrounds and certain things were stacked against us.

It represents that it doesn't matter where you come from — as long as you focus and put your head in the right place, you can overcome any situation. Black or white, no matter who you are, stay focused and you can become successful. In The Kut is just an extension of who we were as kids.
