My name is Hikari Brandán and I'm the Founder of The Auto Barber, a Car Protection shop located in Seattle Wa. Ever since I could remember, cars were always a part of my life. Growing up I always spent time with dealership magazines in my hands, daydreaming of the ones I wanted. When I got my first car I took care of it the best I could, igniting a passion for detailing. After a plethora of different jobs, I was fortunate enough to land a detailing position at Metropolitan Detail, a high-end detailing shop that worked on cars like Lamborghinis and Teslas. 

 

At the salon, I was able to fine-tune my craft and learned how to perform professional-grade ceramic coatings on luxury vehicles, among other techniques. Although working for the company was a wonderful chapter in my life, I knew I was destined for greater things. One of the main reasons I started The Auto Barber was to support my mom financially. She is the person I love most in this world. I knew working for someone else wasn't going to be able to give her the support she needed. 

 

My vision for The Auto Barber is to provide excellent Car Protection services with a high focus on friendly customer service & making sure every dollar spent here was well worth it. I’ve worked so many jobs that I too learned the value of a dollar earned. As the business grows, I would reinvest into the company and give my mom a better life.
