<\/p>\nMILWAUKEE \u2014 As the Milwaukee Brewers continue their playoff run Sunday against the Los Angeles Dodgers, Milwaukee barber Jose Perez Zamora is helping make sure players look ready for game day.<\/p>\n
Zamora, the owner of Flashy Faded, has cut hair for clients ranging from everyday customers to Brewers players such as Jacob Misiorowski and William Contreras, as well as manager Pat Murphy. He said the goal is to give each client confidence when they leave the chair.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s just seeing people\u2019s faces, man, when they lit up after I turn them back to the mirror and they see a crispy cut, crispy lineup, crispy beard,\u201d Zamora said. \u201cThat experience that we bring, it\u2019s a unique feel.<\/p>\n
Zamora said his barbering career began when he was 13 and his younger brother needed a haircut before a band recital. His mother did not know how to cut hair, and his father did not have the money to pay for one.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt pretty much started out as a necessity and fun in a sense,\u201d Zamora said. \u201cLittle brother needed a haircut to go to a band recital. I cut him and it\u2019s wraps from there.\u201d<\/p>\n
Years later, Zamora was recruited to work for a world champion UFC fighter, an opportunity that helped lead to other connections and eventually to the Brewers.<\/p>\n
Anthony Crespo, a barber and childhood friend of Zamora\u2019s, said he has watched him grow over about 15 years. Crespo said one of Zamora\u2019s biggest challenges has been balancing work and personal life.<\/p>\n
\u201cMaking sure he\u2019s functioning properly for the next day. For the next event. For the next player. For the next meeting. For his family, you know?\u201d Crespo said.<\/p>\n

Crespo said he is proud of Zamora\u2019s progress and said barbering requires steady effort because the finished work is always visible.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou definitely have to give it maximum effort,\u201d Crespo said. \u201cI feel like, if you put your max into your client and your craft, I feel like you\u2019ll get close to perfect almost every time.\u201d<\/p>\n
For Zamora, that work is now visible not only to clients\u2019 families and friends, but also across baseball stadiums and to people watching the MLB playoffs on television. Still, he said he views every person who sits in his chair the same way.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel like anybody that sits in the chair, they feel vulnerable,\u201d Zamora said. \u201cIt\u2019s a type of intimacy that you\u2019re very close to somebody, so you build that relationship. They\u2019re like family now, you know what I mean? They\u2019re very, very, very down to Earth. But at the end of the day, they\u2019re human.\u201d<\/p>\n
As the Brewers prepare to take on the Dodgers, Zamora said he plans to help the team carry confidence into the matchup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MILWAUKEE \u2014 As the Milwaukee Brewers continue their playoff run Sunday against the Los Angeles Dodgers, Milwaukee barber…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":879035,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[65],"tags":[41445,2722,369592,363,3,99,452,13309,1745],"class_list":["post-879034","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-app-sports","tag-app-top-stories","tag-jamal-james","tag-mlb","tag-news","tag-sports","tag-top-stories","tag-vod","tag-wisconsin"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/879034","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=879034"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/879034\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/879035"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=879034"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=879034"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=879034"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
