Today we’d like to introduce you to Al Gonzales.
So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
I have over 30 years’ experience in men’s grooming, shaving, hair cutting, styling and shaving skin care. I hold a Class A Barber License and am a certified Master Barber.
It all began in 1980 at Town & Country Memorial in Houston, Texas (now known as City Center). In 1987 my quest for the ultimate shave led me to the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex. For 20-years I honed, polished and perfected the skills to create what I truly believe is the ultimate shave.
Always looking to the future, I left Main Street Barber Shop in historic Grapevine Texas for the boom of Houston’s fastest growing communities; Missouri City and Sugar Land. With my wife Dora and sons Aidan and Gianmarco, we moved to this thriving area to open my own business to share the ultimate shave experience.
My passion for the industry and love of making clients feel at home is reflected throughout the shop. From the lush, antique barber’s chairs to the flat screen television; from the vintage decor adorning the walls (including a picture of long-time client Spanky from famed ‘Our Gang’) to the fine scotch or cigars available; we at Supreme Shave Barber & Emporium will make your experience supreme in every way.
We will be launching an exclusive Supreme Social Club membership soon; the first in Sugar Land.
Has it been a smooth road?
Always challenging because we must constantly learn new trends; and we’re always on the lookout for great barbers to enhance our shop.
So let’s switch gears a bit and go into the Supreme Shave and Barber Emporium story. Tell us more about the business.
At Supreme Shave we offer a variety of masculine grooming services geared toward today’s busy professional. We are experts at hot towel, straight edge shaves. We are also well versed in the care and trimming of beards as well as latest hair styles for men and deliver traditional cuts with precision.
We are known for our passion for all things beard. We know beards go hand in hand with the millennial man’s desire to express his individuality and style. Men are bypassing “generic” salons and adopting the specialty shop for a more personal and masculine experiences. We believe your time with us should be an amazing experience.
Our connection with Clint & Chad Starrett of Templar Beard Company has been amazing; we use and sell their amazing beard products and so should you!
How do you think the industry will change over the next decade?
Men are taking better care of themselves and as a result, they demand superior service and high quality products. Also, the revival of doing business with local merchants, rather than national chains, has put Supreme Shave & Barber Emporium in the spotlight. Our unique shop, vast expertise, and impeccable service have put us on a fast track of growth. Styles change from season to season, and year to year. Precision styling using superior products and making our clients feel like a million bucks, doesn’t change.
