Patrick Rogers is the newest addition to the Balance Salon family and he fits in so perfectly! He invited me to sit in his chair and we got to chat while he styled me. Patrick is a character and he his hysterical! I feel like he would be the perfect person to go to Luckys with for a night of debaucherous drinking and rock n roll. Patrick, call me.
What is your name ? Patrick Rogers
What do you do? I am a stylist at Balance Salon in Jersey City.
When did you start? I started here a month and a half ago.
How did that happen? It’s a weird story, I had always known about Balance… I’m from New York so coming from there to Jersey City I was like “I don’t know if I want to go to Jersey…”. Then my friend Astro, who used to work here told me to come here and apply for work. I was looking for a job at the time. I was actually on the way to an interview at Warren Tricomi, and I was on the A train and it was taking forever and I was 10 minutes late for my interview so I said fuck it, I’m going to go to Balance instead. I came here and talked to Carla and the rest is history.
How do you like it so far? I love it, I love Balance , I love Jersey City I never thought that I would coming from New York. One of my friends lives here and I came here for a party… the second I came out of the Grove street train station I was just like “I love this place”.
Are you going to move here? Yeah I just moved here on March 1st.
Awesome yay! Welcome to the Neighborhood. Do you have a favorite Jersey City hang out spot? I’ve been to Lucky’s… I really haven’t gotten the chance to explore Jersey City yet…
You should check out my blog. [Laughs]
So what is your hair specialty? Well I used to work for Manic Panic in Brooklyn , so I’m good with different colors, I do a lot of blow outs, cause I feel like when cutting hair its like when you’re running a race and you’re done and you’re coasting that’s why styling is to me.
What’s next for you? Right now I’m trying to start a band now that I’m in New Jersey so we are going to do some stuff like a little dark wave kind of situation going on… so hopefully that comes along.
What do you love about working at Balance? The people, the environment, Balance is its own culture and it’s fun, and we don’t fit in anywhere else so I wouldn’t have it any other way!
