Capital A began as Alberto Padilla’s private barber studio in Eugene. Originally from Peribán, Michoacán, Alberto brings more than 20 years of experience to the chair, with an approach built on precision, consistency, and attention to detail.

That same care shapes the brand’s design, photography, and creative direction. Today, Capital A brings barbering and independent creative studios together in a larger shared space.

In 2019, GlossGenius featured Alberto and the early days of Capital A. The story offers a look at where it all began.
