gio beltran, manager

I am a bilingual barber native to Santa Fe, New Mexico that has been cutting hair for more than 10 years now. I started working at Evo as the first employee in 2017 and have been with the company ever since. Cutting hair is all I know, since I have been doing it my entire adult life. It has been an amazing journey to express my creative abilities through hair and give so many people a haircut that they are proud to wear. I thank God for all of the people that have come in my path every day in the hair industry, because I would not be where I am today without them.
