When stepping into Change Barber Studio, guests can expect to find bespoke, one-of-a-kind hair and grooming services, but perhaps the most remarkable thing about the barbershop is the age of its owner. Aaron Medrano was only 19 when he opened the shop in March.
Medrano began cutting the hair of family and friends as a Shadow Creek High School senior from his home nearby. Through Instagram and word of mouth, Medrano marketed his new business.
Medrano said he was inspired to pursue haircutting from regular childhood trips to the barbershop and watching YouTube videos of professional barbers and influencers Chris Bossio and Sean Ralston.
After graduation, Medrano enrolled in Franklin Barber Institute in Houston but was unsure what his next step would be upon graduating.
