Where is your Barbershop located?

In Providencia, Santiago – the capital of Chile.

When did you start cutting there?

I’ve been cutting hair at La Ratonera for 6 years.

How long have you been cutting hair?

I started back in 2009 – it’s been 16 years already!

How did you first hear about Uppercut Deluxe?

Through Facebook, many years ago during the early days of the brand having a presence in California. I used to follow Shane Nesbitt – I loved his work, and he was always using Uppercut Deluxe.

How long have you used Uppercut Deluxe products in the barbershop?

I’ve been working with the brand for nearly 8 years, since it arrived in Chile thanks to Gimeco Importaciones. I’ve been proudly selling and using it in my own shop since day one – 6 years now.

What makes La Ratonera special?

It’s a one-of-a-kind, themed space – when you walk into La Ratonera, you step into the sewers… the real Rat House! It’s a place to meet up with friends, enjoy good music, great service, and create memories. A true barbers’ club – from students to the President of Chile, everyone’s welcome.

What is your signature haircut/hairstyle?

These days I’m really into textured haircuts, but the classic side part has always been one of my favorites.
