When Sean and I first met over a haircut in San Francisco a few years back, we spoke of the desire to travel to far off places. The once fantasy of leaving our conventional life of the 9-5 behind has since become a perfect and sometimes not so perfect reality. Last summer while looking through photos of far off places Sean had traveled through, I stumbled upon photos of a little hotel called El Cosmico in Marfa, TX. Sean was the first person to introduce me to Marfa and El Cosmico. I will forever give him credit for introducing me to the place I now work and call home.

While continuing on his own journey to a new life in NYC, Sean came to pay Marfa, El Cosmico, and myself a visit. This was one of the coolest moments I have experienced. When you live a life on the move, staying in touch if never easy; but if you do so,  the rewards can be priceless. Throw in an impromptu drive over the border to Mexico with a music import from Argentina and you have memories that will last a lifetime.

About the Author

Amber Hockeborne has written 3 articles on Bangstyle.com .

I believe that being a hairstylist is about more than just cutting my clients hair. To me, cutting hair gives me the opportunity to build lasting relationships with those I work with. By doing so, I am in the unique position to express my creativity and generate a ripple effect of the client stylist relationship of giving to one-another. I have spent the past 10 years working for AVEDA which has given me the foundation of such exchange between my client and myself that I still use in my business approach today. Serving my clients continues to be my top priority, while being aware of the footprint I leave behind follows close behind. The combination of these two principals has continued to bring me more fulfillment than I have ever expected and aided in my reputation of being one of the most sought after hairstylists in San Francisco. In July 2010 I made the decision to take my experience behind the chair and hit the road with nothing but my shears in hand, to travel throughout the United States, seeing where haircutting under a bartering system would lead me. Now, I have exchanged haircutting for everything from home-cooked meals, lodging, designer clothing and car repairs. Now, after spending the last year traveling and living everywhere form San Francisco, NYC, Miami and out on the open road I find myself in Marfa, TX. If you are not familiar with Marfa already, you will be! Marfa is a thriving artist community in far West Texas where I have been inspired by the beautifully vast landscape but also by the community of people here. It is here I will settle for a bit while I work on expanding my idea on a global scale all while cutting kick-ass hair along the way!
