Meet Chase Brooks of Chase Brooks Quality Cuts in Lancaster

Today we’d like to introduce you to Chase Brooks.

Chase, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
Growing up, I’ve always thought I would be on the grassy baseball fields of UT Austin hitting home runs until I stuffed my face with hot dogs as I went pro for the Texas rangers. Unfortunately, I was gifted with something even more amazing. Grew up with all sisters and was surrounded with great football athletes in my family so it was destined that I should be a natural in football. My parents were not such educated on baseball and how to attract scouts so I took it into my own hands and went off of raw natural talent. During that time is when social media just started evolving and was takin advantage of for those who were computer savvy. During the time my baseball coach sat me down after many game nights and told me I had a chance to take baseball to another level but never really committed like I should have due to living throughout my family’s dreams for me instead of mines. 2014 I went off to Blinn College in an attempt of maybe walking on for baseball one day, but ended up finding out I had a talent for art. gradually transferred pen from paper to a pair of cold metal clippers on and living canvas cutting hair. I ended up making way more income than I had planned. By second semester I ended up dropping out of college I didn’t know how to feel at the moment, I just gave up on college, baseball, am I going to become a failure? That moment I knew I had to risk it all. Came home got a job working at Walmart part-time while attending Texas Barber College. Within a year, I finished school and quit my job soon as I received my barber’s license with only $200 in my name, that was the best leap I ever took. I lost friends along the way and relationships. But it made me stronger and built the person I am today a successful 24-year-old professional Barber.

We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
Majority of my struggle along the way was the growth from relationships, friends and family. Funerals and birthdays I couldn’t make it to. Being so caught up in the journey could be hindering and rewarding at times. Finances were a challenge knowing when to invest and knowing when to pay yourself. I feel like stress and insecurities are held back when being self-employed, to pertain this certain image of happiness or your life is amazing because you do not work a 9-5 its a front and a lie. During your beginning phase, there’s gonna be many days when you doubt yourself things may be working and the next month you may flop. But the key is to never stay down acknowledge the feeling and finds a solution to resolve the issue no business is perfect and it’s not a job for the weak-minded.

So let’s switch gears a bit and go into the Chase Brooks Quality Cuts story. Tell us more about the business.
