The Mancave Barber Lounge

To everyone who has been worried about my health since day one, thank you. I feel your support more than you could ever imagine.

And to those who thought Mancave Barber Studio was over… sorry to inform you but I’m still here.

I’m not going to pretend this journey has been easy. There are days when the pain is heavier than it’s ever been. When it would be easier to stay home, to rest and to step away from everything I’ve built. But I don’t, because this is bigger than just cutting hair.

For the last five years, this humble chair in Moca has been more than a place for a haircut. It’s been a place of conversations, laughter, trust and connections. It’s where strangers became loyal clients and clients became family. So when you stop by just to check on me, it reminds me why I keep fighting through it all.

I also know not everyone wants to see you win. Some people wait for your downfall or try to take advantage of you. But no matter what, I will always choose the high road. I will always choose to keep my doors open. Because at the end of the day, I know who I am and what I’ve built in this beautiful town.

So hear me clearly, The Mancave Barber Studio is still open. And as long as I have the strength in me, I will be here.

My health right now doesn’t allow me to work like I used to. I can’t work full days. I can’t push my body the same way. But I will show up later in the day and work until my body tells me it’s time to stop. And when I’m there, you’re still getting the same dedication, passion and level of service I’ve always given.

Because quitting has never been part of my story.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you. For the prayers, the messages, the check-ins, loyalty and love. You don’t just support my business but you also lift me up.

Always remember that at the Mancave Barber Lounge, “Porque vamos más allá que un simple corte.”

God Bless you all. ❤️💈📝

I wanted to let everyone know that the barbershop will be temporarily closed while I focus on relaxing and recovering so I can come back stronger than ever.

I truly appreciate your understanding and patience during this time.

Thank you for always being there.

It took a big leap of faith to change my hours and not open on Saturdays. I lost clients. A LOT of clients. Enough to make me doubt my decision. However, I realized my time, my family and I was worth more than any clients than I lost. Believe me, I am grateful for those who stayed and graciously work with my new schedule. Days like today keep me humble and grateful to have those who believe in me.

🚨 Remember - new hours during the baseball season are Monday - Friday.

THIS WEEK:

📌 Monday, January 5 - OPEN

📌 Tuesday, January 6th - CLOSED for the Three Kings Holiday

📌 Wed - Fri - OPEN

Happy New Year from The Mancave Barber Lounge!

“Some of us think holding on makes us strong, but sometimes it is letting go." — Herman Hesse

Let 2026 be the year you let go of negativity, doubting yourself and anything else that steals your peace. Let 2026 be the year of YOU.

To all my wonderful clients, thank you for making 2025 be the best year ever.

🎄💈Merry Christmas from my family to yours.

Wishing all my clients, friends, and families a Christmas filled with joy and peace. Thank you for being part of my barbershop family all year long.

🚨 I will be taking a much needed Christmas break and look forward to seeing everyone when I return to the shop on January 3rd.

Enjoying the season.🎄

⚾ **Baseball Season = New Hours** ⚾

The Mancave Barber Studio will have updated hours while I support my son during his baseball season. This season I have come to the difficult decision to both balance the shop while I cheer on my son. No more guilt. No more missed games. No more watching at-bats on a FaceTime call. I will always be his #1 fan and I don't want to miss out on his season this year.

Starting from now until June, the shop hours will be Monday - Friday with Saturdays subject to availability. The best thing to do is send me a text to confirm and schedule, plus keep an eye on my stories.

A big thank you always for always supporting my small business in Moca. Without you, I wouldn't be here. I always say that I have the best clients and that remains true after 5 years. Thank you for your constant support and understanding.

This Thanksgiving, The Mancave Barber Lounge just wants to say one thing: THANK YOU.
Thank you to every client who sits in my chair, shares a laugh or a tear, brings good energy and makes this shop feel like family every day.

I’m grateful for the support and loyalty that keeps me going. Because of you, this barbershop isn’t just a place to get a cut—it’s a community in the heart of our beautiful Moca.

Happy Thanksgiving! May your day be filled with good food, good vibes, and plenty to be grateful for.

✂️💈 Much love from The Mancave Barber Lounge.
