The State of the Barber Economy
A Letter From the Founder
For decades, the barber industry has been treated as fragmented, informal, and small — despite being global, cultural, and economically powerful.
Barbers built communities.
Brands extracted value.
Distributors controlled access.
Creators were underpaid.
Operators were left without infrastructure.
And for a long time, that was considered normal.
I've lived every layer of this industry — not from a boardroom, but from the ground up. From New York to Miami. From Los Angeles to Colombia. From barbershops to content studios to supply chains that never quite worked the way they should.
What I saw everywhere was the same problem wearing different
uniforms:
Talent without leverage. Demand without structure. Growth
without ownership.
Drop shipping flooded the market without accountability.
MAP pricing collapsed under unchecked distribution.
Brands lost control of their own ecosystems.
Creators became influencers without equity.
Barbers became sellers without infrastructure.
Distributors operated without transparency.
The barber economy grew — but it grew crooked.
Barber Collectives was not built to participate in that system.
It was built to replace it.
We built infrastructure where none existed.
We connected creators to commerce.
We turned sellers into operators.
We turned operators into scalable businesses.
We gave brands visibility, control, and enforcement.
We gave distributors rules, accountability, and technology.
Most importantly, we aligned incentives.
This is not
This is not a marketplace.
This is not a dropshipping platform.
This is not affiliate marketing rebranded.
Barber Collectives is an operating system for the modern barber economy.
An ecosystem where:
- • Creators become sellers
- • Sellers become brands
- • Brands scale through compliant distribution
- • Operators run real businesses
- • Culture is preserved while commerce evolves
Every company I built before this was a lesson.
HowToFade™ proved that education could scale globally — reaching over one billion views without paid marketing.
The Barber Archives™ proved that culture could be preserved while building a premium, profitable brand.
Zona De Barbería™ proved that language, identity, and trust matter — that the Latin American market deserves infrastructure built with respect, not extraction.
Barber Collectives is the convergence of all of it.
This is the end of the unstructured barber economy.
This is the beginning of an organized one.
To the brands:
You deserve control, compliance, and partners who protect
your name.
To the creators:
You deserve ownership, not just exposure.
To the sellers:
You deserve systems that let you scale without
breaking.
To the operators:
You deserve one platform — not ten disconnected tools.
We are not here to chase trends.
We are here to define standards.
This is infrastructure.
This is policy.
This is the future of the barber economy.
And we are just getting started.
