THREE WORDS TO DESCRIBE DORIANO: Quiet, Silly, And A Huge Nerd
Doriano’s journey in the hair industry started pretty much from birth, although the last five years is when he took the reigns and started to make a career out of his knowledge and skills. Doriano’s father has owned a hair salon for all of his life. Doriano grew up in a hair salon. Like most kids, the last thing he wanted to do was stay in the family business. Doriano took a chance and joined a band and hit the road. After a few successful and fun years, the band broke up, and Doriano found himself stuck. At this point, he was desperate for a job; he returned to his dad’s salon to help out and earn money. A few years later, Doriano caught wind of a new barbershop opening and wanted to check it out. He worked there for a few years and bouncing around to a few other spots after that. He has now found his home at Pugsly’s Barbershop. Doriano has capitalized on social media to learn new techniques and gain a large following. His motivation comes from the barbers he works alongside. He says, “I appreciate what these guys do every day to help me become who I am now and provide me a home that I could let my creativity free.”
My go-to shear and the shear that I feel boasts the most versatility would be the 13T. This shear cuts, blends, texturizes and details! What else could you ask for out of a shear?!
