New Junior Barber Royal Lemery

It is not every day that a biking accident and a random Uber ride lead to a new addition to the shop. Last year, after Brendan and Isaias were involved in a biking accident, Brendan found himself relying on Ubers to get to work every morning. During one of those rides, he struck up a conversation with his driver.

When the driver saw the drop off location was The Rosemont Barbers, he asked if Brendan was heading in for a haircut. Brendan explained he was actually a barber there, and the driver revealed that he had just graduated from barber school. That driver was Royal. By the time the ride ended, Brendan had offered him a tour of the shop to share more about what we stand for.

After an interview later that week, Royal began shadowing our team every Thursday. Since last spring, he has been a constant presence in the shop, completing our education program multiple times to refine his craft.

We are proud to announce that Royal is officially joining the team as a Junior Barber starting Tuesday, February 2nd. For now, he will be behind the chair on Tuesdays from 10 to 6:15. Because I am working very closely with Royal during his first few months, his service times are set slightly longer than the rest of the team to ensure every detail is perfect.

About Royal After spending many years in the restaurant industry, Royal transitioned to barbering to pursue a career that provided more fulfillment and technical challenge. He focuses on the balance of building fresh rapport with new clients while carefully nurturing the relationships he has established with long time guests. Whether you are looking for a classic, timeless cut or a more modern style, Royal is adept at bringing a personalized vision to life with technical precision.

"I wanted to do something that made other people feel good. I love the feeling of helping people feel confident and feel great about themselves."
