Virg Christoffels, Founder of Christoffels Hair Restoration
It is not often that you meet someone with such high standards and morals. Virg Christoffels is a man of integrity and faith and his passion for his craft, his family and his staff have brought Virg to where he is at today.
Virg has spent his entire career serving his community, he has helped countless individuals who have experienced hair loss and has mentored his family and staff every step of the way. But don’t think for minute this goes to his head. Virg is a very humble man, and is very grateful and thankful for all of those who have impacted his life.
Virg’s story starts as one of six children raised on a dairy farm in South West Minnesota. Virg saw the value of hard work and even saw the struggles demonstrated by his parents. They worked hard, long days and by the time Virg was in 4 grade, he was getting up at 5:30 a.m. to milk cows, then go to school and was home again at 4:30 p.m. to milk more cows and do his share of the chores. He did not participate in school sports because there was always work to be done.
Virg and his wife Cheryln were high school sweet hearts. In 1971 they were seniors in high school and Virg gave Cheryln a diamond ring for her 18th birthday (the ring cost $180), that was a lot of money to a young high schooler. They graduated in May and Virg started Barber College a week later. Cheryln and Virg were married in December of 1971 at the young age of 18, while he was in a nine month barbering program and Cheryln was in nurses training. Today Virg and Cheryln have been married 4
