Every Friday, Artisan Barber transforms into a lively space filled with music and energy, thanks to our guest DJs. This week we had some tunes from Walesca, Artisan BarberβsΒ product developer and one of our esteemed concierges. When sheβs not running the show up front or mixing a set, Walescaβs mind is on creating new products for the shopβespecially when it comes to creating grooming essentials with a twist.
Her latest project is a line of candles that doubles as grooming oil. Imagine lighting a richly scented candle, then using the softened wax as a warm, coconut-oil-infused treatment for hair or beards. Walescaβs love for quality, multifunctional products means sheβs always dreaming up ways to elevate self-care.
Beyond the shop, Walesca keeps things eclectic. A Brooklyn native whoβs lived throughout New York and spent a bit of time in the South, Walesca knows NYCβs nightlife inside out. She hits up Brooklyn for a young, hip scene, Harlem for the βgrown and sexy,β and Lower Manhattan for classic city nights.
Her snack of choice is mango with Tajin for that perfect mix of sweet and spicy, and her latest media indulgences include Baddies West and The Real Housewives of Atlanta. She also has a serious love for Afro House and Amapiano music, though lately, sheβs been leaning into Drum and Bass for her sets.
If youβre in the shop on a Friday, youβre bound to catch Walescaβs DJ magic and sample the unique products sheβs developed. Stop by for the full experience, ask about our grooming candles, and enjoy the vibe she brings to Artisan Barberβyouβll see why weβre all a little obsessed with her style and creativity.
