Urban Sparkz Streetfashion & Barbershop

Description

Urban Sparkz opened in 2004 firstly as a street fashion clothing store, importing merchandise from USA. Cutting hair was not my first activity, but out of necessity and because I knew how to cut hair I started to help my friends and relative for free.
Soon enough, the word had spread in Berlin, more and more people were asking my services as hair dresser.
At that time I did not intended to become a barber, but sometimes you have to be able to seize the blessings in the opportunities presented to you. So I did a training as a hair dresser and after I received my diploma, I was finally able to make a living out of a passion and offer a much needed service.
It is only in 2006 that the barber shop opened to the public, catering to our needs and offering a social place within the black diaspora community in Berlin.
