Hello there,

My name is Juan Carlos Manimbo, I go by JC. I started my fascination with hair when I was a kid. Growing up in the late 90s and early 2000s, I admired all the different hairstyles I saw from all forms of media that was available to me. Fast forward to 2017-2018 when I decided to start learning all about hair and my hair journey at Riverside City College (RCC).

I then started to work at a chain salon/ barbershop to gain confidence with my skills, after quite some time I moved on to work at my first booth rent job at a barbershop in old town Murrieta. After working in Murrieta for a year I decided it was time for me to move on to Orange County California to further grow my craft.

In Whittier I opened my first barbershop, together with a business partner. After a year and a half of growing and honing my craft, I decided it was time for me to open my own space.

1993 Atalier was born, an intimate space dedicated to my love of barbering and all things I’m passionate about.

I’m welcoming you to join my hair journey and see wherever I’m headed in this industry!
