Denie Bulantahan, 32, Denie for short, is from Lantapan, Bukidnon. He has been a barber for 14 years. He has two sons age 3-years-old and 2-months-old. He was inspired by his older brother who is also a barber. He pays 6,000 pesos rent which included electricity and water bills. He makes about 400-500 pesos a day and more on Sundays. He gets 15 pesos for each customer cut by his partner Ronald Betonio, nickname Along who is 26 years old. Along has 2-year-old twin boys. He started snipping hair in 2010 in Pilar, Bohol. He practised by cutting locks of willing relatives. He said he asks customers about their preferred style or cut and limits conversation with them. Dennis & Ronald Barber Shop was opened after Denie and Along had a bad experience with their former employer. They claimed that the owner used to add a few headcount to the actual jobs they performed. When their employer tried to cheat them again, they left the shop and started their own.
