LA FAMILIA BARBERSHOP :: 97 FOURTH STREET :: 518-788-2453
Marco Lugo, owner of La Familia Barbershop, is a people person. He loves to serve and be around happy people, happy customers. He wants to offer the best service and experience that he can at his barber shops. Marco not only owns La Familia Barbershop 4 on 97 Fourth Street in Downtown Troy, but also La Familia Barbershop 2 in Albany. The Troy location has been open for 5 years and the Albany location for 10 years, respectively. And it's all family, all Marco with his businesses.
Born in Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic, Marco moved to Manhattan in New York City in 2001. He had trained as a barber in the DR, but continued schooling in the US at the American Barber School. He offers men's cuts, facial grooming, kids and women's short cuts (by appointment). A few popular looks are skin fades, mohawks and bald looks. Any style, hair texture and all ages are welcomed.
Managing two locations is a way of life for Marco. He works at the Albany space from 8:00am to 12:00pm, then drives over to Troy from 1:00pm to 6:00pm. He is adamant at being in both locations, so his customers can see his face and know his quality of service. Growing a business can be hard, but he said that once you get things in order; everything will go well. His longest customers are kids and he's enjoyed seeing them grow over the years.
La Familia Barbershop 4 in Troy, has grown from 3 stations to 5 stations over the past five years and Marco recently refreshed the space by painting the red walls yellow and gray; for more warmth. Consistency is key, as most barber shops receive walk-ins. Clients may bounce around and try different barbers, however Marco makes sure to provide the best cut for both new clients or longtime clients- everyone, new and old, is part of the family at La Familia Barbershop.
