Meet the customer Alex "The Don" who runs The Don Barbershop

We had the pleasure of visiting one of our talented customers Alex, who owns and runs The Don Barbershop. We talked about how the pandemic has affected him. Watch the interview!

Pandemic was tough for Alex at The Don Barbershop. From being in growth and a tailwind, everything shut down and he lost a lot of his customers. Thanks to regular customers and a business loan from Qred, he was able to stay open and now business is booming again.

Well-trained barber

Alex has always had the attitude that if you're going to do something, you have to be the best at it. That's why he chose to train with some of the best in the world. Now he's doing everything he can to make his life as a father and entrepreneur work. It's not all easy, but being your own man comes with both pros and cons, according to Alex.

Only I am affected by how much I work. How good a job I do. So it's very clear how good I am at what I do, especially after the restrictions were lifted and I saw all the old regulars coming back," says Alex "The Don".

While I and my colleague Niclas are there, who is the more hair and beard fanatic of the two of us and therefore sits in the chair, one after the other comes in and says hello. It's clear that "The Don" has a lot of regulars. Some just poke their heads in and mutter a few sentences, others book new appointments and someone comes in to get a haircut.
