IN THE CHAIR & ONE TO WATCH

From humble beginnings to becoming an LV3 educator, Bones’ journey is a testament to resilience, faith, and the transformative power of a craft. We also speak to Eric Hernandez to discuss his stratospheric rise in the barbering industry. From pushing boundaries, to his A-list clientele – this is why Eric is the one to watch. We also speak to Cal Newsome from across the pond in the UK – so you can learn more about this barber abroad.
