Several years ago, the Dubai branch of CG Barbershop was opened officially. However, this is just another chapter in a rich history that has spanned over 100 years and three generations. Carlos Gamal, the founder of CG Barbershop in Dubai, was born into a family with a strong affiliation with barbering, and he started learning the craft as an 11-year-old boy – standing alongside his father trying to soak up all the knowledge he can. Today, CG’s aim is to ensure the spiritual lineage endures, and that the culture of top-class service delivery that spans a century is maintained – with an adaptable modern twist that takes inspiration from technical barbering.
CG Barbershop and the Art of Technical Barbering
For years, barbers have been regarded as creative artists, and people respect their ability to take an idea and bring it to life. If you think about the best haircut you’ve ever had, you’ll realize that at the end, you were somewhat surprised at how well the barber was able to bring your thoughts to life. That’s creativity at work.
However, in the modern day, it has become clearer that in addition to being artistic, barbers also have to be technical. Technical barbering means applying technical skills and knowledge to artistic expression. It’s knowing how to use scissors and razor in addition to clippers during a haircut, and knowing the best times to use either one. It’s mastering shaving techniques and performing precise beard trims that enhance the customer’s look. And most of all, technical barbering is understanding how different hair textures/shapes and facial structures can be manipulated to attain the best results for the customer.
At CG Barbershop, we are committed to barbering as an art, but also as a technical endeavor. Whether you visit us for a full haircut, skin fade, restyling, or a buzz cut, you can rest assured that your barber is an artist as well as a technician. Furthermore, we understand the impact of grooming on a positive mental outlook, and we want you to stand up from the chair with a brand new haircut, a lighter mind, and a spring in your step.
