Merge Barber School was founded July 2017 by Cristian Ramirez, a native of the Dominican Republic. At 11 years old he was brought to Brooklyn, NY to pursue the American Dream. At 15 Cris fell in love with the art of barbering. Not knowing what lay ahead, he pursued learning how to cut hair. As his career as a barber evolved, living in Brooklyn NY, he felt he needed a change. In 2004 he moved from NY to PA to work at a barbershop in Bethlehem. In 2009 Cristian opened up his own Barber shop known as Metro Barber Shop in Bethlehem, PA. As Metro Barber Shop started succeeding Cris brought a few young men into the shop to be trained under him so that they would have the skills and hours required to obtain their barbering license. He always had a deep gratitude for the man who took him under his wing and helped him develop his skills as a barber. Cris's passion for taking people under his wing to show them the skills and the art of barbering, and also assisting people to develop a career in barbering, grew. This all led him to the opening of Merge Barber school.
Our mission is to equip and empower people with the skills necessary to earn their barbering license and to pursue their career as a professional barber.
