Meet Jamie Simon Sr | The Grooming Maestro

We had the good fortune of connecting with Jamie Simon Sr and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jamie, every day, we about how much execution matters, but we think ideas matter as well. How did you come up with the idea for your business?
Being a full time barber. I would have clients ask me questions about what kind of products can they put in their beard. Such as beard shampoo & beard conditioner. Also products to assist in healthy hair growth. Products that would help keep it moisturized plus looking naturally healthy. I went to work doing research on natural oils that work well for facial hair and the skin beneath. After an extended time with research, I finally identified a plan of attack on my clients beard issues. I started using it on myself for months , observing how my facial hair reacted when the product was applied. Which my beard hair loved all the good attention. Also noticing after multiple days of no use , how the hair reacted. At that moment I knew I had 1 solution to the unhealthy looking beard.

Jamie is a native from Lafayette,Louisiana. He developed a passion for “barber life” at the age of 15 when
his grandfather allowed him to borrow a pair of clippers after his haircut. After cutting the hair of his friends,
family and any willing person who would sit in a chair, Jamie decided to become a professional barber and
opened his first barbershop in 2015. He moved to Houston in 2018 to expand his business and has enjoyed
the opportunity to network with fellow barbers in the industry.
Throughout his career Jamie has had a particular interest in the interface between mental health and
generational poverty and the role that education, mentoring and indigenous leadership can play. Jamie has written two e-books named “ Your personal barber business”. This includes insights to assist you in opening your own business. Also “The Modern Man’s Guide to Grooming & Skin Care”. They can be purchased on kindle + anywhere e-books are sold.
His goal is to help people feel better about themselves in order to promote positive self-esteem. He believes that having a great mentor is the first key to addressing these issues so he welcomes the opportunity to mentor young
people in his barbershop by allowing them to work as volunteers or interns in order to gain valuable work
experience and learn about the day to day life of an entrepreneur within the barber industry.
Jamie has a heart for people and is deeply committed to giving back to underserved communities by hosting
free haircut events and has provided both financial support and countless hours of community service while
