Today we’d like to introduce you to Jean Carlos Cruz.
Hi Jean, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I was born in Bayamón, Puerto Rico, being the youngest in a family of six children. I started cutting when I was 15 years old. I learned on my own, without courses, but by pure trial and error. Since I lived in a low-income community, I had a lot of practice helping him improve his technique.
I am a person who is passionate about business and above all a philanthropist who dedicates my time to serving those who need it most. Growing up in an environment with few resources, I learned not only the value of work but the importance of serving others and helping those who need it most.
My discipline has been essential in my career as a barber, which has helped me open many doors and cut the hair of multiple music artists, television artists, and great professional athletes worldwide. I am currently the owner and founder of Òleo Men’s Salon and the non-profit organization Cortando Fronteras.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
This is a very physically and mentally exhausting profession which is why it does not make the road easy. From my beginnings, I had economic limitations and there were no digital resources like those of today.
I think that what has always helped me get out of any situation is my discipline, my organization, and my determination.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Òleo Men’s Salon?
Òleo Men’s Salon is based on living a great experience, we offer more than 40 different services in the area of barbering, aesthetics, manicure, and pedicure for men.
It also has Òleo Salon Express for special or private services.
If we knew you growing up, how would we have described you?
When I was little I was a very mature child for my age, I was a very introverted person, I played many sports, standing out in basketball.
He managed to identify each situation well to make the best possible decision. I did not develop vices and I always maintained the desire to improve myself.
