Fresh Faces with Cutting Edge Tallent

  • Axel Martinez began his barbering journey in 2023, honing his skills at home by practicing on siblings and anyone else who would let him. His dedication and natural talent quickly became evident, laying the foundation for his career. He has a diverse range of interests that keep him inspired. He has a deep love for music, cherishes time with his large family, and has the unique experience of growing up bilingual.

    Outside the barbershop, Axel enjoys working on cars and expressing his creativity through art. For him, barbering is just as much a passion as it is profession. He thrives on the creativity and artistry he can bring to each cut, and he finds great satisfaction in positively impacting someone's appearance. Axel is always on the lookout for new styles and trends, ensuring his clients leave the chair looking their best.

    Axel recently celebrated a major milestone by marrying his best friend. This joyous event adds to the positive energy and enthusiasm he brings to the barbershop every day. We are thrilled to have Axel as part of our team, where his talent and passion shine through in every haircut.

  • Cretia brings a calm, welcoming presence to the shop, taking pride in creating an environment where every guest feels comfortable, cared for, and at ease. Soft-spoken by nature, she balances her gentle demeanor with warmth, humor, and genuine connection, making each appointment feel relaxed and personal.

    Becoming a mother is one of Cretia’s greatest accomplishments. After moving back home from California to give her son the best possible life, she found herself more grounded, focused, and rooted in what truly matters. That same steady, thoughtful energy carries into her work and the care she gives her clients.

    Outside of the shop, Cretia enjoys spending time with family and teaching herself new recipes. Cooking is one of the ways she expresses love and creativity, always learning and improving little by little. Her nurturing nature, attention to comfort, and heartfelt approach make her a valued presence in the shop and a trusted professional behind the chair.

He enjoys working on fades, textured fringes, and blowout tapers, and takes pride in elevating the client experience with relaxing facials that add a premium touch to each visit. Thoughtful and detail-oriented, Alex approaches every service with care and intention.

    Behind the chair, Alex brings an easygoing and relaxed presence. He’s skilled at reading a client’s energy — whether they’re looking for conversation or a quiet moment to unwind — and adapts to ensure a comfortable, personalized experience. His goal is for every client to leave feeling confident, refreshed, and aligned with the style that feels most like themselves.

    Outside the shop, Alex draws inspiration from music, art, and the fashion aesthetics of Japanese and Korean culture. He enjoys soccer, volleyball, and spending downtime immersed in manga. These influences help shape his artistic eye and keep him connected to evolving trends, especially as he continues to refine his skills with longer hairstyles. With a grounded approach and a growing creative skill set, Alex brings a modern, thoughtful energy to the shop.
