 Being a Barber

I have chosen to interview a barber named Senna, who works at Rami’s Cut Barber Shop (Rami’s Cut) because cutting hair is one of my family’s tradition and it has been going on in my family since 2000. I wanted to interview someone who has the same passion as me.

1:Why are you passionate about your job?

” I am passionate about my job because i like making people happy with the way they appear and i love meeting new people that come to me and get a haircut from me, also this also one of my passion because cutting hair is a form of art, and art is one of the huge part of life”

2:What obstacles have you faced to get you where you are today?

” The obstacles that i had to face to get where i am today is to be patience and being able to pick up a lots of skills in a short period of time. and also to get back up every time i have messed up a haircut. i kept on working hard and keep trying my best and i practiced a lot to get where i am today”

3:What advice would you pass on to someone interested in what you are doing?

” The advice that i would give someone is to let them know that at first trying to learn how to cut hair is very hard and frustrating and you feel like giving up sometimes but in the end it will be all worth it”

4:Would you be open to further contact from Riverside students and if so, how can someone contact you?

” yeah sure i will be more then happy to help someone, all they got to do to reach out to me is to message me on Instagram @yvngtheena.

5: Are you going to continue this passion you have in the future?

” I will most likely always be into cutting hair because it is something i love to do an it is one of my favorite things to and also because it is a fun and cool jobto have”

6: What do you think is your greatest strengths?

” My greatest strength is my communication and really trying to understand what my client want his hair to look like”
