In this live collaboration with BarberEVO and Vagaro, our editor Jennifer sat down with booming barber, Vinny Deleon, and Vagaro Social Media Manager, Shelby Barriball. The trio sat down together to talk being intentional with your time, building your business from the ground up, and the importance of mentorship.
Vinny has been a master barber for over 15 years, founding his bustling barbershop, Vinny’s Barbershop in 2017. Now with two locations, Vinny has built strong reputation across the US – thanks, in part, to Vagaro.
“Time management is key to growth, and when I was getting to that stage, I knew I needed a tool that would help me,” he explained. “Vagaro does that for me. It helps me gauge what my days, weeks and months are going to look like.
“So now, I’m focused on my business; I’m focused on my clients; I’m focused on the growth that’s happening. At the same time, I can go back and plug into the systems that I need, based off of how busy I am.
“Vagaro has been a tremendous help. Anytime I grow into a new dimension or make it onto another level, they have what I need before I know I need it. That’s the beauty of Vagaro, man. I came on with Vagaro, I changed my outlook on business and we did $600,000 more. It’s amazing,” Vinny laughed.
Despite the growth in his business, Vinny still dedicates time to his mentees – putting his money where his mouth is.
