In an industry where the workforce has been unmistakably dominated by men, Sofie "Staygold" Pok (@Staygold31) has indeed carved her own path and clearly made her mark.
A celebrated and talented barber for over a decade, Sofie has spent the last decade laser-focused on building her global lifestyle brand, Staygold LA. She's been featured in numerous publications such as VICE, American Salon and Inked to name a few, and has won quite a few prestigious awards in her field including Female Barber of the Year at BarberCon.
Raised in Orange County, she began as a skillful barber with a quest for sharing knowledge and has turned into a highly sought after Visual Artist with a love for global hair education, filmmaking and photography. Sofie enjoys being an open book on her journey to becoming one of - if not THE - most respected female barbers in the world.
She is currently a Global Educator for Babyliss Pro, a brand ambassador for Mizutani Scissors and is a proud co-founder of the STMNT grooming collection, born out her impactful vision along with fellow creators, co-founders & equally talented barbers Julius Arriola(aka @Julius Cvesar) and Miguel Gutierrez (aka @NomadBarber).
Sofie's incredible sense of vulnerability, audacity to remain true to herself, willingness to serve her audience as well as her clients, and never backing down from an opportunity to learn is a testament to her indomitable personality and stratospheric rise. With no signs of slowing down, one can only get excited imagining what the future has in store.
On this episode, Sofie shares her story on breaking away from family scripts, taking chances despite the unknown, learning from every circumstance, focusing on being the best...and so much more.
