About
Hi, I'm Telmo
I grew up above my uncle's barbershop in Matosinhos and swept hair there from the age of twelve. I trained as a barber in Porto and learned colour in a salon off Rua de Santa Catarina before I opened my own chair in 2022.
I like a haircut that still looks right six weeks later. I keep the shop small so each person gets a proper hour, and I write down every colour I mix so I can do it again.
