“RECOGNIZE THAT EVERY INTERACTION IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON OTHERS”
-Shep Hyken
To have a strong effect on someone or something by definition is impact, in our barbering world our lives to our very own clients and the services we provide them make a sudden impact on theirs, friendships and bonds are created and formed and the birth of the barber client relationship is born.
When it comes to Darleen Vega’s aspect on this relationship who’s had interest in barbering that has always been there along with the fascination of it all. Her impact on her clients has spread throughout all those Leen has come in contact with as a barber.
“YOU’D BE AMAZED AT WHAT A HAIRCUT CAN DO FOR SOMEONE”
Being able to express myself has always been one of those things that has allowed me the freedom without limits to use my clients as a canvas, barbering in every aspect is an art form and should be respected as such.
Who knew I would be in love with the two things that would change my life forever, with my girlfriend finishing cosmetology school she always knew I had a strong interest for cutting hair and felt that it could be my calling in life. Taking it upon herself she brought me to the American Beauty Academy where she signed me up to attend the classes, while being in school I got a part time job at Who’s Next Barbershop owned by J. Valentin (Lancaster, PA) and working another part time job within 5 months at being at the barbershop I quit my other job and dove feet first in the world of barbering.
I believe in the term “follow for follow” I will follow anyone and it doesn’t even have to be in the world of barbering as long as you are teaching me something I will follow your page closely. I really can’t single out any barbers in the industry that I follow and admire it would be an injustice to all of us out there that take our craft seriously. I am truly inspired by all the barbers in my city of Lancaster, PA it has been a staple in this industry and to some it has been the mecca and home of great barbers “THE RED ROSE CITY REALLY HOLDS IT DOWN”
“BLOSSOMING IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL THING”
I often wonder what if? I’d gone to barbering school a lot earlier what would’ve became of myself? I love the position I am in and I live with no regrets I guess it is all about timing and the timing has never been more perfect.
“I’M ON THE PATH, THE PATH IS UNFOLDING. IT WILL REVEAL ITSELF TO ME IN IT’S PERFECT TIMING, AND ALL IS REALLY WELL!”
