In this edition of our newsletter, we are delighted to shine the spotlight on Henock Ket, Barber at MAESONS.
“For those who don’t know me yet or haven’t had the chance to sit in my chair: I am Henock and I would like to introduce myself.
In 2023, I decided to leave my career in professional sports behind. At the age of eighteen, I chose to pursue a career as a barber. Soon after, I found my place at MAESONS, a place filled with passion, joy and driven people. I began my training at MAESONS Academy and fully dedicating myself to mastering the craft of barbering.
After months of hard work and continuous learning, I became part of the team. It felt great to understand where I stood, giving me the confidence and space to further develop my skills. Today, I work at MAESONS with pride and joy, and I’m proud of the progress I’ve made so far.
The philosophical terms such as Stoicism, Nirvana and Sonder form the three main principles that guide my perspective on life.
- Stoicism reminds me to focus on what I can control and to accept what lies beyond my influence. It’s about cultivating inner peace, resilience, and virtue, regardless of external circumstances. In my life, it helps me stay calm, focused and in control of my emotions.
- Nirvana represents the art of letting go—of desires and distractions that can disturb your peace. It doesn’t mean escaping life but embracing it fully without getting lost in the chaos. It’s about achieving inner peace and setting priorities amidst the hustle.
- Sonder is the realization that everyone you encounter has their own unique and complex life, just as rich and full as yours. Everyone carries their own thoughts, struggles, and ambitions, even if they’re not immediately visible.
I look forward to welcoming you into my chair and creating a moment of relaxation and care together!”
