Gustavo Ruiz

Level 1 Hairstylist

Mexican roots, Texas born and Oklahoma raised! I’m a guy with big dreams and an even bigger heart. Growing up, I was always reminded to “let all that you do be done with love,” and that message has stayed with me throughout my life. It’s one of the reasons I chose to pursue a career in hair and become a barber.

I love helping my clients build confidence, express themselves, and get their glow back. While many people think barbers only specialize in short haircuts and shaves, we’re actually licensed to provide a wide range of services, including all types of haircuts, color services, perms, and blowouts. I love being able to combine creativity and technique to create a look that makes each client feel like their best self.

When I’m not behind the chair, you can find me spending time with family and friends, enjoying the outdoors, creating art, listening to music, or putting together an outfit. I’m inspired by culture, fashion, creativity and the people around me and I bring all of that inspiration into my work.

I can’t wait for our hair date!
