Cesar Paniagua

From clippering heads at a friend's Barber Shop in the South Bay, to his present post – Executive Grooming Specialist for Gornik and Drucker at The Montage Hotel of Beverly Hills, one thing is constant: Cesar Paniagua can make you look good. Shaving and a Haircut, that he can do. But Cesar gives his clients real-time grooming guidance, everything from shaving techniques to proper skin-care, to product recommendations. Remember. He is BarberByDesign.

Paying attention to detail is that sort of attention Cesar learned when he got the opportunity (in 2007) to train under Master Barber Shoichi Mogi. Working at a well-known high end Men's Barber Shop, exposed Cesar to a constant stream of high end traffic and cliental. Presented with a great opportunity, Cesar was able to take his game beyond the traditional "Shave and Hair Cut" and developed a vast repertoire of old school straight razor shaves, and both clipper and scissor techniques.

Knowledge and Skill are critical, but in order to truly offer today's man something of value a Barber needs to know when to play it safe, and when to break the mold. Cesar does his research and stays in the "know" about tomorrows most popular grooming trends. He can go goatee, organize scruff, or groom your beard, but where Cesar shines best is in customizing facial hair with your distinctive facial features, face shape, hair and skin type. Perhaps most importantly of all is making sure that you, the client, are able to obtain that look once you step out of the shop.

Working in a Beverly Hills Barber Shop, exposed Cesar to more than just hair, grooming needs, and accessories. A man running into that sort of shop is most likely going somewhere, not coming from somewhere. With an organic outgrowth of his work, with men in high octane positions, Cesar quickly developed an eye for the totality of men's style, not just hair.

In addition to shop appointments, Cesar is available to and does provide personal grooming services in the privacy of your home, or for special occasions. Such as weddings, bachelor parties, print and commercial shoots, as well as being "on call" for many of Beverly Hills most prestigious hotels. He enjoys servicing a diverse cliental, including royalty from Saudi Arabia and Qatar, to trial lawyers, ranked executives, athletes, actors, musicians, and several elite talent agents of both CAA and William Morris. He served as the groomer and stylist at the ESPY Awards, Oscar's grooming lounge, InStyle Grooming lounge, Day time Emmys, Grammy's, Michael Jordan's grooming lounge, and as print prep for The Nate Berkus Show.

Clients appreciate Cesar's approach to the culture and artistry of The Barber. He is a man that men trust. He takes time in learning who you are, and what you like, in turns come to trust his advice. We're talking relationships, not a random stop at a chop shop. This is not just grooming, you need a BarberByDesign, that's Cesar Paniagua.
