Meet the Founders: Fredis and Juan Carlos Perdomo
Fredis sparked his passion for cutting hair at just 14 years old, picking up a cutting machine for the first time to give his friend a haircut. A week later, his friend came back for more and even brought along another eager customer, thus his business was born. Just five short years later, Fredis teamed up with his brother Juan Carlos, who mentored and supported his barber business. True examples of the “American Dream,” Fredis and Juan Carlos opened their first location in Little Havana and have since expanded their business into an ever-growing lifestyle brand.
