Son of a barber and with a brother who is also a barber, they are masters of their trade, which is in danger of disappearing in the face of salons and beauty parlors. His barbershop could not have a more inspiring name "La inpiración". The interior décor and accouterments create the impression that time has not passed. Aniceto is concentrating on finishing a young man's haircut, and when he finishes the customer stands and they take leave of one another exchanging courtesies like "see you next month"and "send my regards to your father". Alberto, a gentleman of 65, comes in and tells us that Aniceto has cut his hair since he was six years old and he has come in for a trim every month since then. Immersed in his work, Aniceto explains that he loves his job because of the creativity it requires, never breaking his concentration. Aniceto is sensitive, emotional, and evocative. He is well loved by his customers and his family. He is a true master of his profession, and has earned the affection and admiration of four generations of customers. Written by
