Vito

I was born in Baltimore but have called Washington home since the early 1990s. While working for a large corporation, I was presented with a career transition opportunity that forced me to make an important decision. After many thoughtful conversations with my wife, I chose to leave corporate life and enroll at 028 Barber School in Seattle.

It didn't take long for me to fall in love with the craft. I realized that barbering is about more than just haircuts. It's an opportunity to serve friends, family, and the broader community while creating a space where people can talk, reflect, or simply enjoy a moment of quiet. I call it "Chairapy," and I'm here for it.

Few places bring people together like a barbershop. My goal is to share the Black barbershop experience with all communities. No matter your background, gender identity, or ethnicity, you are welcome in my chair and at my shop.
