Prologue

For the past twenty years, many barbers had worked with ALK. Mostly men, since there were a couple of menopausal women who once applied to cut. Mr. Gonzaga was kind with his employees, giving them their salaries on time and, if the business all throughout the year wasn't that bad, he gave Christmas bonuses. The only reason why barbers would leave the shop was aging. Some died, some retired, some settled with their families.
