Industry Talks: Sam Rogers

Where are you from?
I have only ever lived out in West Auckland which is a bummer, I would rather be anywhere else than Auckland right now. But yeah! I’m from West Auckland!

When did you start working?
I think I started Barbering when I was about 20, 21 maybe 22. So like three years ago. what got me into it was I had started to shave myself with a cutthroat razor and I really enjoyed that, I thought it was quite cool, quite manly. But yeah one of my workmates at the time I was doing industrial abseiling, he showed me how to use the cutthroat and showed me this video of these dudes ‘Schoolroom barbershop’ in Rotterdam, and showed me some of the haircuts that they would do. He wasn’t a barber but he thought it was cool, I did as well and I thought, that looks pretty fun why don’t I do that as well. The video that actually got me was Skin Fade Pompadour that is still up on their Youtube channel it’s an awesome haircut I still love it. So yeah that’s what got me into Barbering.
