Meet Angelica Sanchez | Barber and Cosmetologist

We had the good fortune of connecting with Angelica Sanchez and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Angelica, how has your work-life balance changed over time?
Oh boy, honestly, up until recently my life has been a bit work heavy. The balance has definitely shifted over time – in a good way! It is so important to also have a personal life, who knew! I don’t have any regrets though, but I did put in the work to be where I am today! It all paid off.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
For me, I wasn’t automatically gifted to cut great hair, I had to work at it, fail, work at it some more. One thing they don’t really teach you in school is how to provide great customer service while also providing a great haircut. Personally, I’m not the most social personal so I REALLY had to not only work on my technical skills but my communicating skills as well. It was definitely a challenge. But hey, I loved doing hair so much I even went back to school to get an additional license (in barbering) and have never looked back!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Oh my goodness, okay, as someone who is from here this is an exciting question. To start off the day, I would take the bestie out to brunch at either Hash House a Go Go or Breakfast Republic – both are so delicious! Then we would head to the beach, catch some sun, maybe grab a sushi roll – or two! For the evening I would take them to Altitude Sky Lounge on top or the Marriot Hotel because the view up there is absolutely incredible – you can see the whole city lit up!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Shout out to all my beautiful coworkers, your encouragement and kind words go a long way.
