Hello! Welcome to my business, my dream…
I grew up in Plano, Texas, studied computer science from the University of Texas at Austin, and went to graduate school at Harvard University. After school, I moved out to Los Angeles and worked 4 years as a software engineer in the defense industry before growing disillusioned with the corporate cubicle life.
Unfulfilled as an engineer, I began exploring opportunities in LA and soon discovered a creative inspiration for photography, barbering, and hairstyling. In 2012, I won a national men’s haircutting competition and became an international educator with American Crew. In 2013, I signed with Exclusive Artists Management, an agency that represents celebrity barbers and hairstylists. For the past 10 years, I’ve been teaching haircutting and working with celebrities in the entertainment industry. In 2020, I decided to move to Frisco, Texas with hopes of bringing my experience and skills back home. That’s how Chai Hair Studio was born. Thank you for the support, and I hope you’ll become a part of my journey!
