FROM PAGE 1
When asked about his busi- ness concept, Tudela recalls the definition of a collective: “A group of individuals com- ing together to form one entity; a family, team or squad. And that is exactly what we are as a barbershop. From the time you enter our doors to when you leave, we hope you feel welcomed and a part of the family. We offer a multitude of services, everything starting from traditional gentleman’s haircuts to straight-razor skin fades and full perm services. Our goal is to bring your vi- sion to life.”
