Three generations celebrate Bellarmine Barber Shop’s 70th anniversary

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:10:39 GMT

When Gabe Gonzales opened Bellarmine Barber Shop in 1953, he wasn’t thinking about starting a business that would last seven decades. He just wanted to stop working 16-hour days for another barber shop so he could spend more time with his young and growing family.“My wife decided it. She said, ‘you’re not going to any of the kids’ games or taking us out on Sundays or weekends’,” Gonzales, now 96, told me as we sat in the shop this week.The decision paid off in ways Gonzales couldn’t have foreseen. He spent more time with his wife, Lupe, and their four children, and eventually took them on vacations to Europe and South America. And he built a business with deep roots in Santa Clara County, cutting hair for mayors, judges, CEOs and athletes.Retired barber Gabe Gonzales, 96, left, visits Bellarmine Barber Shop, Thursday, March 16, 2023, now run by his daughter Esther Faria, center, and granddaughter, Stacey Gonzales.
