THOSE WHO CREATE SOMETHING

SELFMADE Men's Hair Artist

Noah Siaris

Aiea, Hawai'i

How’s it going! My name is Noah. I am a men’s hairstylist living in Honolulu, Hawai'i. I found my passion in cutting hair 6 years ago and I love putting a smile on each one of my clients’ faces as they leave my chair. I watch a lot of anime — my favorite is One Piece and Jujutsu Kaisen. I have a great appreciation for all genres of music (except country, no offense). I also love fashion and shoes!

What does a Selfmade Men's Hair Artist do?

I have the ability to make people look and feel their best by finding a hairstyle that enhances their features and compliments their lifestyle. Doing hair allows me to tap into my creative self and it fills me with joy to know that i was able to make someone’s day. For many people, a trip to the barber is simply a routine task. They sit in the chair, get their hair cut, and leave. But for me, being a barber is so much more than that. It's a passion, an art, and a way to connect with people on a deeper level.

CREATIVE • INNOVATIVE • PERSONABLE

Top 3 — Why do you love being a Selfmade Men's Hair Artist?

Hair is art

Doing hair allows me to create. I’ve always been into art — did a lot of graffiti in high school, and when I put my hands on the clippers, I realized that cutting hair is also considered an art!

Building relationships

I am also very grateful for the relationships I have created in the chair with my clients. Sitting in the chair is almost like a therapy session in a way, where we are able to hold a safe space for people to open up and be themselves. Your network is your net worth!

Discovering myself

Growing up, I have always considered myself as introverted, and cutting hair has enabled me to burst out of my shell and show people who I really am. That has got be the biggest blessing about stepping into this industry.

What motivates / inspires you?

My late father and my girlfriend who is also a hairstylist are my biggest motivators. Being a part of a creative community is so motivating and fun, i like to surround myself with like-minded individuals because it pushes me to grow and perform at my highest potential at all times! It’s a very humbling feeling to know that I’m in a position where i can inspire others in the industry and also the younger generations that sit in my chair. It makes me feel like i can make a difference and also gives me purpose. What drives my inspiration is travel, art and nature.

What are you most proud of?

One of the accomplishments i can be proud of is winning a barber battle back in 2021! Besides that, I am proud of myself for going against adversity since a young age and finding my passion & purpose. Being in the industry pushes me to never stop growing. I am currently working on overcoming my greatest weakness, public speaking. Stepping out of my comfort zone again, I would like to hold classes and educate people who want to further their education into cutting hair. I stand by the quote: “You need to become comfortable being uncomfortable, because that is the only way you grow!”

What was your first dream job?

Before finding my calling, i wanted to pursue my dad's dream to become an architect.

What other path would you have taken if not this one?

If I didn’t pick up the clippers 6 years ago, I would probably still be in the restaurant industry. I really did not know what i wanted to do prior to finding my passion in cutting hair.
