MEET OUR BARBERS

Ricky Strauss was born in Chicago where he trained and remained in the hair industry for over 35 years as owner and operator of three successful shops in the north suburbs. In 2017, he moved out of the Midwest for the first time and made Palm Springs his permanent home with his husband, two dogs, and a cat. He immediately saw the potential of the quaint barber shop located in the Sunny Dunes shopping district and purchased the business in 2018. He always strives to offer a friendly and reliable service to his local clients and a warm welcome to all visitors. He is joined in the shop by fellow barbers, James, Evan, and Harman.

Evan Graham is originally from a small town in West Texas. He went to school in Dallas where he did most of his training. He has also worked as a corporate educator for several hair product companies, teaching hair cutting to new barbers/stylist. At 26, he moved to San Francisco and worked in a barber shop there for 8 years. He most recently lived in Barcelona and Paris and returned to California in January 2020. He brings 15 years of industry experience to his work.  Evan loves skin fades and classic gentleman's haircuts. He has worked in customer service his entire life and prides himself in his communication with clients. Having lived in Europe, Evan can speak A2 level French and B1 level Spanish. What Evan loves most about this industry is human connection and making people feel great about themselves.
