Roberto "Bobby Bunches" Ramos
Co-Founder, Master Barber, & The Heart of RMB October 11, 1959 – February 13, 2026
At R.M.B. Shave Parlor, we believe that mastery is a lifelong pursuit of both craft and character. No one embodied that standard more than our co-founder, Roberto “Bobby Bunches” Ramos. He wasn’t just a master of his craft; he was the grit, the warmth, and the ultimate catalyst behind why we exist today.
Arriving in the United States in 1976 with nothing but a backpack and an unstoppable work ethic, Roberto spent decades doing whatever it took to provide for his family—working as a factory hand, a landscaper, and a security officer. In 2014, following a career-changing injury, he chose to completely resculpt his own life. He became a Licensed Barber, and alongside his son, Michael, opened R.M.B. Shave Parlor in 2015.
To Roberto, a fresh haircut or a sharp beard sculpture was never just a transaction; it was a vehicle for genuine human connection. Behind the chair, he poured his soul into four distinct groups:
- To His Family: He was a fiercely protective father, grandfather, and great-grandfather who broke generational cycles by constantly showering his family with tight hugs, deep affection, and his signature “Gimme ” sign for love.
- To Our Barbers: He was the ultimate blueprint of resilience, proving that it is never too late to reinvent yourself, master a new skill, and take immense pride in your trade.
- To Every Client: Whether it was a first-time guest or a regular who had sat in his chair for a decade, Roberto brought a legendary sense of humor, effortless charisma, and a rare ability to make people feel seen, valued, and at home.
Though he passed away in February 2026, his presence is woven into the very fabric of our shop. We continue to pick up our clippers every day to honor his craft, uphold his standards, and live out his favorite daily reminder:
“Smile, it’s free. Enjoy your family and enjoy your life.”
