Carlos Abra - Founder
I'm Carlos Abra, founder of True Shape. I came from Peru with a suitcase and a dream: to show that talent has no borders. Barbering became my purpose, an art that led me to teach and inspire throughout Europe and Latin America. True Shape was born from this passion: more than a barbershop, it's a community that believes in dedication, humility, and vision.

João Gomes - Founder
I'm João Gomes, and my journey began in 2016, when barbering was just "a job." Over time, it became a passion and a form of expression. In 2022, together with my best friend Carlos, we created True Shape, a barbershop made of effort, humility, and love for the art. Today, our goal is simple: to elevate the name of Bragança and inspire others to believe in their dreams.

Paulo Ricardo
Tudo começou por brincadeira, ao cortar o cabelo de um amigo sem nunca ter pegado numa máquina.O que era curiosidade virou paixão e, com a ajuda do Carlos e do João, descobri que a barbearia é mais do que cortes: é dedicação, empatia e arte.Hoje vivo do que amo e sigo a evoluir todos os dias.

Diogo Domingues
Expert Barber
It all started during the pandemic, when I was jokingly cutting family members' hair, and it ended up becoming a true passion. Later I discovered that barbering was already a family tradition, and today I feel proud to be following that legacy. Being part of True Shape is much more than a job: it's about growing, learning, and living every day doing what I love most.
Jéssica Pires
Expert Barber
Being a barber, for me, is more than just cutting hair. It's about paying attention to detail, understanding what the client wants, and making them feel good. It's a job of focus, technique, and attitude, and that's what motivates me every day. I started out of curiosity, without big plans. I did my first haircut and immediately realized: this was it.
André Nascimento
Expert Barber
Being a barber is much more than just cutting hair. It's about knowing how to listen, advise, take care of your image, and make sure each person leaves the chair feeling better about themselves. In my case, it all started simply: I was just a client. It was through playing around with my friends, trying to get a hairstyle right here and there, that I developed a taste for it.
