Diego Rivera

Born in the city of La Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina; Diego started to cut his friend’s hair at early age. In 1993, Diego started his barbering and hair styling studies at a technical institute in La Plata. At the end of 1998, Diego traveled to USA to visit his father who was residing at North Bergen, NJ.

One day while walking around this city, he saw a barber school that caught his attention. He decided that he should continue his studies. A year later received his diploma and license to start working.

During the following 9 years he worked at different cities in New Jersey, always looking to advance and learn new styles and barbering techniques.

It was in the beautiful city of Hoboken NJ, where he finally found the perfect place to grow.

This Barber shop was the oldest one in the city and was owned by two Italians who were veterans of the barbering trade. They taught Diego the tricks and techniques about barbering and hair styling.

Diego was able to develop his abilities and build a big circle of professional contacts, becoming one of the most wanted barbers in the area.

In 2009 and being at the top of his career, Diego found love and moved 2 hours away from Hoboken.

He started to look for barbering places on the surrounding areas.

Diego discovered that Philadelphia was a city with a lot of future for him. He applied at a couple of prestigious barber shops of the city, one of which was 2B Groomed. It was the perfect fit.
