From Humble Beginnings to Community Pillar
Mencia’s journey to owning Barbers of Cinco Ranch is one of perseverance and passion. Born in Honduras and raised in difficult circumstances, Mencia learned the value of hard work early on. “Growing up in an orphanage, there were a lot of tough times, but it was during those years that I learned to never give up on my dreams,” Mencia reflects. Her passion for barbering began as a way to bring people together in his community, and he eventually made the decision to pursue it as a career, opening Barbers at Cinco Ranch in January 2025.

After immigrating to the United States, Mencia faced challenges in building a new life—but her unwavering determination kept her going. “I’ve had people believe in me when I didn’t believe in myself,” says Mencia. “Owning this barbershop is a dream come true, and I’m grateful every day for the community that has supported us along the way.”
A Gathering Place for the Cinco Ranch Community
As Mencia’s vision took shape, Barbers of Cinco Ranch grew into more than just a business—it became a hub where connections are made, stories are shared, and traditions are passed down. The shop has become a true gathering spot for locals. “We love being part of this community,” Mencia explains. “Cinco Ranch is full of people who really care about where they live, and we’ve had the privilege of getting to know so many amazing families and individuals over the years.”
This sense of connection is at the heart of the experience. While many barbershops focus on a quick turnaround, Barbers of Cinco Ranch has made an art out of building relationships. “A lot of our clients have been coming to us for years. We’ve seen them get married, have kids, and go through big milestones. It's so fulfilling to be part of those moments in people’s lives,” Mencia shares. “Whether it’s a father and son coming in together, or someone coming in for a special occasion like a wedding, it’s these moments that make what we do so rewarding.”
