Our Story

Established

2022.

Owner Carlos Pompa, ran away from home at a young age and found his solace in the art of barbering which allowed him to express his creativity. He carried his tools in his backpack, offering $5 haircuts to pay for his meals relying on the support of his friends to have a place to sleep and sometimes resorting to sleeping in his car.

"Elite.. the best of the best."

He pursued other jobs but after being unsatisfied he decided to take his passion for cutting hair seriously. He was granted an opportunity at a barbershop and hasn’t looked back since. For him, “Elite” represents doing what you do at the best of your ability. The path hasn’t been easy, but elevating his skills and inspiring to be his own boss he established Elite Barber Studios in 2022. Alongside growing his business, he hopes to educate and mentor the next generation of barbers and nurture their growth using his decades of experience and inspire them to be the best they can be.
