Chris Baran's Headcases

This week’s guest is Nieves Almaraz, winner of NAHA Men’s Hairstylist of the Year 2021. With a barbering license and a cosmetology license, Nieves owns a barbershop and a barber school and thrives on inspiration. 

• Opened his first barbershop at 23 years old and was immediately swamped with bookings
• Started attending hair shows and was overwhelmed with inspiration 
• Became a volunteer at hair shows so he could walk the show floor and meet his inspirations. 
• People would stop him on the floor to take photos of his fades, asking him how he did them. So he made an instructional video on his technique.  
• Barbers are very knowledgeable and take it to the next business level 
• What’s the one thing he would tell his younger self?
