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

Hi Ruben, what habits do you feel play an important role in your life?
Consistency with everything that pertains to the business. Being on time, friendly and treating everyone the same. Whether you’re a client of 10+ years or a new guy trying us out for the first time. You will be treated exactly the same, every single time.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Anything that’s being built from the ground-up is always a challenge. Uproar barbershop has been a wild ride from the start. It took us 1 full year to open our doors due to some confusions with paperwork with the city. I’ve learned that time is going to have things fall In to place where they need to be. Uproar is a family oriented barbershop where we try to connect with every individual. We are the people you see before your big interview, date, wedding etc. we know that we play a role in your life for special moments and we gladly take you under our wing so we can all enjoy each others journey and story. We as barbers, watch boys turn to men, men turn dads, dads to grandpas. We are here for the long run!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Fitness junkeez gym for an early workout, tortas manatial for a bite to eat and a hike in Sedona just to keep it simple.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My parents; they instilled a hard work ethic in me at a very young age.
