MEET YOUR BARBERS
From the early age of nineteen years old, Stephen Mirabal
began his barber career. Under the direction of his father, Henry Mirabal, owner and operator of City Barber Shop, he gained the tools of trade. He learned about the importance of personal relationships with customers, one thing his Dad was remembered for. In addition, Stephen learned the old-school style of haircuts from his Dad, notably his clipper-over-comb and precision scissor cuts, a style of haircutting that was used in the 1950s and still being used at City Barber Shop today.
After the passing of Henry Mirabal’s in 1998, Stephen took over his legacy and began to run the barbershop on his own. Stephen worked alone in the shop for two years until he started mentoring other barbers with the same old-school style haircuts that his dad once taught him. Over the years, Stephen has trained many successful barbers in the Las Cruces area. With the ownership of his Dad’s shop, he remodeled the shop in 2004. He transformed the three-chair shop into a thriving seven-chair business.
​
Through Stephen’s leadership and hard work and 32 years of experience, he has continued to build a successful barber shop. Stephen is known to his customers for his exceptionable personable skills, a trait that was taught to him by his father, Henry. He never forgets a customer’s haircut. Today, Stephen Mirabal continues to run the barbershop, as he has for over thirty years, with his quick wit and smile on his face, just like his dad, Henry Mirabal.
