MEET OUR AMAZING CAMBIO'S CUTS STAFF ...
I have always been fascinated by hair having grown up near a local barbershop. The ambiance captivated me from a young age. My aunt, who was a professional hairdresser at the time, taught me how to use scissors and shears. To my surprise, I later discovered that my great-grandfather in Italy, where my family is from, was a seasoned barber who owned his barbershop. I began practicing with a straight-edge blade by shaving balloons to hone my skills. I found that blending and creating clean lineups came effortlessly to me.
It seemed as though fate intended for me to become a barber. Even after two decades in the industry and running my own barbershop, Cambio’s Cuts, I still have a deep passion for it. What started as a high school hobby at age 14, when I first wielded a pair of clippers, has blossomed into a fulfilling career. Observing others’ haircuts inspired me to believe that I could not only replicate them but also excel at it. Initially, I only cut hair for friends and family in my parents’ basement for fun. However, by the time I turned 18, I was fully committed to pursuing a career in barbering.
I was fortunate to land an apprenticeship at Atomic Salon, the most prestigious shop in Rhode Island at the time. Within a few years, I obtained my license and bypassed formal schooling. I worked at three different locations of the salon over the next 14 years, learning from a variety of barbers and gaining the expertise and confidence to tackle any haircut challenge. As a business owner, I realized that success in this industry involves more than just cutting hair. Before opening my own establishment, Cambio’s Cuts, I made sure to familiarize myself with every situation that could arise.
Today, after almost four years of operating my shop, we have firmly established ourselves in the community. Each member of our team not only excels in their craft but also brings their unique personality to the table.
I have never been in such a good place in my life, with a supportive family that backs me in every decision. All my tools are of high quality and have elevated my performance to a new level through classes that focus on constantly improving the details. I am always exploring new ideas and enhancing the barbershop, with no intention of stopping here. Stay tuned for Cambio’s Cuts part 2!
My goal is to keep enhancing the current shop and continue to grow and move towards expansion. It is truly a dream come true for me, as I am able to pursue what I love every day. Working at the barbershop doesn’t feel like work at all, it’s simply what I do, and I consider myself fortunate to be able to say that. This lifelong journey unfolds every day at the barbershop. Come visit us for the “Cambio experience” and enjoy the fantastic atmosphere we have created!
