29 years young today! This past year has felt so fast, but so much has happened since last year. I've learned SO MUCH. 😳 I've been lucky to be able to have experienced what I've done so far and I'm so excited for what's to come for the rest of year. It's been one of the most positive years of my life. It starts with positive thoughts, removing any negative vibes from my life, focused on my goals, and always pushing/challenging myself to evolve with time. My hunger for growth is endless in whatever I involve myself with. Thanks to everyone for all the birthday love 😁❤️It was a major accomplishment now looking back... being/feeling in a completely different place from last year. ♊️🐉 #staygoldsofie #gemini #birthday #love #tattoo #me #sofie #HBD (at Bestia DTLA)

The power to change someone's image in just a haircut. I love that reveal when I hand them a mirror or showing them the picture on my camera. Full transformation cuts bring me so much joy because they have no idea sometimes what their beard or hair can look like or having something they've never had before. 💈✂️ This is Wes and he has natural white hair. 👌🏼💯 (Most people pay to have done😭, I'm so jealous) 😀📸Haircut results from my last video post. Everyone has GREAT under whatever they got. 🙌🏼 #whitehair #rarehair #embraceyourhair #naturalhaircolor #mensfashion #mensbeard #beardnation #beards #menshairstyles #btconeshot_men17 #btconeshot_fade17 #btcbigshot_men17 #staygoldsofie #haircut #transformationcut

Skin FADE. One major question I get asked a lot is how do you fade ? There's not enough words in this caption I could even write out. It comes from an understanding of what your using, your pressure of the clipper to the head, your techniques, the style your going for, and more. The only way to get it is through repetition of practice. Sure, you can watch tons of videos, but the RIGHT type of practice will always help best. 👌🏼💯 #menshaircut #blendinghair #haircut #staygoldsofie #la #westcovina #kidscuts #behindthechair #btconeshot_haircut17 #btconeshot_men17 #btconeshot_fade17 #hairislife #lahair #justkeepcutting (at West Covina, California)

Obstacles are put in your way to see if what you want is really worth fighting for 👊🏼 The journey isn't as joyful as IG makes it seem. The long days, hours of studying, the X amount of haircuts you have to do to understand that style, getting overlooked, tough clients, doubters, no support, long drives, sweating during my appts cuz I was taking so long, my inner voice just battling against my thoughts...the list goes on. I sometimes questioned is this what I even want to do? I've always been more drawn to cutting more than anything else so I just buckled down and stuck to it. It's very true nothing worth having comes easy. It took me at least a year n half to say to myself "ok I think I'm starting to get the hang of it". From there, it was detailing my work and enhancing the overall services. The beginning is always the toughest. Be patient. Don't lose hope. Trust the process you were given and ENJOY the never ending ride. 🙏🏽❤️ #staygoldsofie #me #barber #stylist #tattoo #la #california #work #714 #haircutter #dreams #workhard #exploretheworld #inspire #educationiskey
