Julio has been cutting hair in Inwood since 2002 โ and his clients have been in his chair for just as long.
Walk into vivo hairstudio and you're walking into thirty years of craft. Julio doesn't just cut hair โ he knows your father, your son, and exactly how you like your lineup without asking.
Generations of Inwood have grown up in his chair. Hot-towel shaves done the old way. Fades with the patience only decades can teach. This is the classic barbershop experience, kept alive on Sherman Avenue.
