Ramon Claudio was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico. From as early as 15, he was attracted to cutting and styling his friends’ hair in backyards and garages. Ramon decided that he wanted to be a barber in high school after his cuts started gaining recognition with all of his classmates.
Fifteen years later, his passion has led him to where he is now: working within the urban community of Cleveland, Ohio. The inner city has been a positive influence on Ramon’s ideas for new barbering techniques. After many years of cutting and traveling the U.S. And Puerto Rico, Ramon has received multiple awards, has been featured as a showcase barber, and has gained knowledge and extensive training from some of the industry’s best barbers. His influences include Mark Marrero, Eric Pacinos, and Diego Elizarras, where many of his inspired styles came from. Ramon has learned, grew, and stood out in a very competitive industry. He has been fortunate to style many professional Major League Baseball players, Music Djs, Rapper MGK, musician Alex Angelo, and UFC fighters Cody Garbrandt and Stipe Miocic. Ever since opening his own successful Cleveland business, Top of the Line barbershop, Ramon has come to witness that good things come with hard work and consistency. Staying on top of today’s men’s hairstyles and haircuts is a must. “It makes a difference when you’re on top”
