This whole story is a tribute to my grandfather Angelo, my father Adolfo, and to my two sons Paul & Vincent who now continue in our family tradition of Barbers into a fourth generation.

So I started the training process of my eldest son Paul jnr who like me, was to take 3yrs to learn the family skills, and like all parents, we know that teaching your own anything in life is not an easy task, but we eventually made it through the trials and tribulations put before us, and he was eventually “trained up and shipped out” to make his own mark in the hairdressing world but also to make way for his younger brother Vincent where he and I embarked on another 3yr intensive training programme, and so after the 6yr training process of my two sons, I believe this is where my very own “deforestation” took place…………hence the lack of hair!

But hey, it’s been worth the Blood, Sweat and Tears and at least my wife Connie and me came out at the other end relatively happy.
