We had the good fortune of connecting with Gabriel Valdez and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Gabriel, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
Quality work and costumer service

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I am a Barber and I am very proud of it, I have worked many years in the industry on my craft to deliver what a true Barber does.

I truly care for my clients and that’s what sets me apart from the rest.

In this stage of my career, something that I am very proud of, is LIV BARBERSHOP.

Getting where I am today wasn’t easy, lots of sacrifices made a long the way.

What keeps me focused is the purpose of my life.

Some of the lessons that I have learned over the years are to never give up on your dreams because after any struggle and sacrifices you made, there’s always something better and greater that awaits.

I want everybody to know that the moment you walk into my Barbershop you will know what a true Barbershop is.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I always take friends and family to downtown Gilbert, and of course my barbershop, if they haven’t been.

Our favorite spots that we’ve taken guests are The Porch, Joyride Taco house, and Oreganos.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My wife, my family, my clients and all the people that has contributed somehow a long the way in my career.
