Francesco
Cheruseo is a talented and established barber with 14 years of
experience at his fingertips. As a classically trained artist and having
worked for the likes of Dolce & Gabbana, Francesco is a natural fit at
Avanzato Grooming Lounge.
He
began his career as a Junior Barber at the young age of 15 in a
traditional barbershop in Sorrento, Italy. Willing to start from the
bottom and make his way to the top, Francesco would spend his afternoons
at the salon helping the professionals, fascinated by the techniques
used. Fuelled with a new found passion, Francesco enrolled himself at
the National Academy of Italian Hairstylists, a private academy for the
best. Upon graduating, he took a full time position at one of best
barbershops in the city of Campania, while also continuously honing his
skills attending courses like “Barber Match”, “Wahl Workshop” and
“Shorem Barber´s Workshop” whilst also nuturing a competitive streak by
taking part in the “Italian Hairdresser Championship”.
Since
his move to London, Francesco has learnt from the very best in the men´s
grooming field, where he made a solid start at Murdocks, where he was
promoted. Impressed with his work, Dolce & Gabbana offered him a
position in their salon where he flourished. Having seen his talent,
Stefan Avanzato asked Francesco to join his team at the very first
grooming lounge by Stefan Avanzato.
