Room When I first started cutting hair, it was just me, a cheap pair of clippers, and a mirror set up in my small room. I didn’t have a shop, a chair, or a line of clients waiting—just a quiet space and a lot of doubt. Learning fades felt almost impossible at first; every time I tried to blend the fade it looked patchy, like harsh lines that refused to disappear no matter how many times I went over them. I would watch videos late at night, pause them, rewind them, and then try again on the next friend who was willing to sit in my room while I figured it out. Sometimes I could see the disappointment on their face when the blend wasn’t perfect, and it honestly hurt because I cared so much about getting better. There were nights I sat there staring at the clippers wondering if maybe barbering just wasn’t for me, especially when hardly anyone was asking for a cut and it felt like nobody trusted my skills yet. But something kept me going—the small moments when a fade actually started to blend, when someone left my room saying “it’s not bad,” or when one client told another friend about me. Slowly that little room turned into my practice ground, my late-night classroom, and my reminder that every barber starts somewhere. The blends got cleaner, the lines got softer, and the same clippers that once made me doubt myself started to feel like tools I actually understood. Looking back, those rough fades and quiet nights cutting hair in my room were the foundation of everything.
New space Now I’m moving into my own space. It’s crazy to look back and see the progress from cutting hair in a bedroom to building something that’s truly mine. This new spot represents the long nights, the grind, the patience, and everyone who believed in me from the beginning.
But this is only the start. I’m still learning, still working on getting better every day, and still focused on growing. The goal is to keep improving, keep elevating my craft, and create something even bigger from here.
From a room to my own space… the journey continues.
Hungry The motivation is at a different level right now. I’m probably the most hungry I’ve ever been. I see the potential, and I know the work it’s going to take to reach it. Late nights, early mornings, practicing, studying the craft — all of it is part of the process.
One of the biggest goals on my mind right now is getting the basement finished. That space isn’t just a room; it’s the foundation for the future of Oger Blendz. A place where the vision can grow, where the grind continues, and where something real can be built from the ground up.
This journey is about more than haircuts. It’s about discipline, consistency, and believing in something before everyone else sees it. Eight months down, and I’m only getting started. The hunger is real, the vision is clear, and the future of Oger Blendz is being built one step at a time.
Set up Done A year into my barber journey and I can honestly say I’m proud of how far I’ve come.
When I first started, it was all about learning, staying hungry, and believing in a vision that not everyone could see yet. I kept working, kept improving, and stayed consistent with the craft.
Now a year later, I built my dream studio. Something that started as just an idea is now real. I’m getting texted every day for haircuts, people trusting me with their look, and supporting what I’ve built.
It honestly makes me really happy seeing the progress. But at the same time, I know this is just the beginning. I’m still learning, still growing, and still pushing myself to get better every single day.
Grateful for everyone who’s supported me so far. The journey continues...
The World is Yours Watching Scarface always stuck with me, especially the moment when Tony Montana looks up and sees the sign that says “The World Is Yours.” That line always meant more than just money or power to me. It meant opportunity. It meant that if you’re willing to work, stay hungry, and believe in yourself, you can build something bigger than where you started.
Started I started my barber journey in September 2024. At the beginning, I didn’t have a shop or a big setup — just a vision and the motivation to learn the craft. The first people who really helped me start were three of my friends who trusted me enough to let me practice on them.
Basement I built my Dream Stuido and it toke around 2 months, it needed heavy cleaning as it had a lot of dust. I boght my big desk, new mirror and a upgrades my tools. I am so proud of how its going and I always lok back on how it used to be, in my room in a very small space but filled with dreams.
