Robledo, in the city's north-west, is a student and neighbourhood comuna with technical universities and a very active rap and freestyle scene. Clients here know what they want and usually arrive with a design in mind.
Robledo has a strong identity built around Universidad Nacional, Pascual Bravo and ITM, home to a student crowd that lives rap and freestyle culture almost daily around Cerro El Volador. It is common for clients to arrive with the design already worked out in their head: the exact colour, whether they want a single tooth or a full arch, and even a reference to another artist's grillz they liked, which speeds up the initial conversation about the design considerably.
Given the student profile of tight schedules between classes, group projects and exams, we group Robledo appointments with other west-side visits on the same day, which lets us offer more flexible afternoon slots, once most classes are over but there is still daylight for an easy commute.
If you are coming by Metro, getting off at Floresta or Suramericana and taking a short bus route along Avenida 80 is usually quicker than driving at that hour, especially on days with activity at the nearby campuses when traffic bunches up around the university entrances. On those days we confirm the appointment with some extra time built in.
Robledo's own Metro station sits right by Jardín Botánico and the Parque Explora area, which some clients use as the meeting point instead of a home address when they are coming straight from a nearby campus. The slope up toward the university entrances can add a few extra minutes on foot, so if your building is on the hillside rather than near the station itself, it helps to mention that when you book.
