Beside me, to guide me
To hold me, to scold me
‘Cause when I’m bad
I’m so, so bad

1. What is your favorite song of all time and why?
This is a hard one but if I was to say one song it would be gimmie gimmie gimmie by ABBA. This song has such an electricity to it and has a great mix of Disco and dance music feel to it.
2. If you could write your own job title that best describes what you do here, what would it be?
Firstly I see myself just as a barber who loves creating and making people happy then I would say as the owner you become a jack of all trades and find yourself doing lots of different tasks which I love as not one day is the same.
3. What do you enjoy about the work you do?
I feel extremely lucky to do what I do as not one day is like work and the more I speak to people it seems like a rare thing to have this. Being in a barber shop environment is a very settling experience for me as I have grown up in a salon environment since I was a young child and just feel so much at home. The way you can make someone's day better and really make a difference is probably the best aspect that barbering brings and I feel when I am cutting hair it is like my own kind of meditation.
4. What are your hobbies?
Running, Cycling, Barbering (haha) and just hanging out with my family and friends. One of my favorite things to do out of work is host dinner parties as cooking for people is much like barbering and brings happiness.
5. If you could travel anywhere in the world where would it be and why?
Italy, this place is just the best. Myself and my family have been there multiple times and can get enough. We always dream of owning a little villa in the countryside when we retire.
1. What is your favorite song of all time and why?
Is this it - The Strokes. A lot of my favorite songs transport me to a different time in my life but this track and album was the first I discovered outside of my parents' music collection. It was the beginning of me discovering the music that I loved on my own.
2. If you could write your own job title that best describes what you do here, what would it be?
Primo barber, I supply my clients with great service, non awkward sometimes riveting chat and most importantly the top class haircut they always wanted.
3. What do you enjoy about the work you do?
There are too many reasons why I enjoy what I do. I feel lucky to be creating day in, day out. I enjoy working with my clients to give them their desired haircut. I enjoy that no two days are the same. I love that I can build relationships with clients to the point where them coming in is also a catch-up as much as it is a haircut. Last but not least, helping people feel good about themselves, a haircut can give someone confidence, can change someone’s mindset and can simply make people happier, to be able to supply people with that is a privilege.
4. What are your hobbies?
I enjoy making music mostly. I’m a guitarist and singer/songwriter and I love writing tunes. I’ve been skateboarding for many years now and love to skate when the weather permits. I’ve recently picked up sewing too and hopefully will get a proper grasp on it soon.
5. If you could travel anywhere in the world where would it be and why?
Currently New Zealand’s South Island is on my list. I have not yet managed to get over there but a peaceful camping trip on the South Island is where I want to be.
1. What is your favourite song of all time and why?
One song that I have probably played more than any other would be “Push Up” by the Freestylers. Every time I hear this it's almost a guarantee that I will start singing and dancing.
2. If you could write your own job title that best describes what you do here, what would it be?
I provide every customer with an experience that is chilled, friendly and professional. My focus is always on the haircut more so than the small talk. I hold myself to a very high standard and take hair seriously. I want customers to feel like they are in the hands of a master hairstylist.
3. What do you enjoy about the work you do?
What gives me the greatest enjoyment is seeing the transformation of a customer. Hair and grooming to me has the most dramatic effect on one's appearance and also can showcase your personality and individuality. I love having a customer come in with long overgrown hair who is willing to have a complete change. Seeing them come to life with a new look is always very rewarding.
4. What are your hobbies?
I am an artist. I create highly detailed portraits using coloured pencils. Lately I have enjoyed experimenting with digital art and oil painting. I try to keep fit, so I spend a bit of time at the gym. To counteract that I do enjoy a few drinks on the weekends with friends.
5. If you could travel anywhere in the world where would it be and why?
If I could travel anywhere right now I would have to say Mykonos. Minus the pretentious influencer crowd that it seems to attract. I love the island's beauty, the humble Greek architecture and the excellent beach clubs. Also I want to go back to visit London to catch up with old friends that I left behind due to the Pandemic.
1. What is your favourite song of all time and why?
One of my favourite songs would be "Summer 91" by Noizu because it has really good beats and vibes that remind me of summer and good times.
2. If you could write your own job title that best describes what you do here, what would it be?
I'm an artist that enjoys creating different types of styles for people.
3. What do you enjoy about the work you do?
The best part of being a barber is having the ability to make my clients feel confident with their appearance and having them walk out with a smile on their face. Another important thing to me is making long lasting friendships with my clients. Being a barber ignites my artistic side enabling me to keep up with the latest trends and create fresh styles for my clients.
4. What are your hobbies?
I enjoy socializing and hanging out with family and friends. In my spare time I enjoy working on cars, and when I can I love to get away camping spending time in nature doing activities such as trail riding, fishing and four wheel driving.
5. If you could travel anywhere in the world where would it be and why?
Somewhere I would love to visit would be Egypt as I'm fascinated about their history and I think it would be a really cool place to explore.
1. What is your favourite song of all time and why?
Kid Cudi day and night, any thing Cudi is a favourite, who doesn't love a party starter it’s fun, sexy, timeless and a great sing-a-long.
2. If you could write your own job title that best describes what you do here, what would it be?
Head of colour, cuteness and cutting, I take care of the coloring side of things at the bearded man, color can do a lot. It's not just about being light or dark it can create texture in thick hair , layered hair and even curly hair. Adding warmth or a cooler tone can really change up your complexion and complement your favorite features, as well as blending back the clock. I mean grays. Cutting is another thing I do and while I love all aspects of cutting I especially love working with a razor, when used correctly with endless creations and possibilities, razoring is great for creating a more lived in look, softer edges with no strong lines adding texture, softness, and taking out weight.
3. What do you enjoy about the work you do?
I enjoy seeing people look and feel good, the work that I do Hairstyling and my years experience has given me a great skill set that allows me to help make that happen for all my clients. I like that it can be so creative and personal . It’s something you can get really right or really wrong and I always like to get things really right! The connections and relationships you make being someone’s hair stylist can be really special. I've made some amazing friends over the years.
4. What are your hobbies?
I have a lot but the one i spend most of my time on is downhill mountain bike riding and have gotten pretty good over these lock downs!
5. If you could travel anywhere in the world where would it be and why?
Portugal it’s easily the most beautiful European destination. Everything is there , Portuguese tarts omg the food is great, the people amazing, the cities are so beautiful and well kept, the Portuguese really know how to live!
1. What is your favourite song of all time and why?
The Zombies- She's Not There. Getting to see this song performed live was epic! It was the 50th anniversary of its release!
2. If you could write your own job title that best describes what you do here, what would it be?
Job title: Manager! Exclamation point!
3. What do you enjoy about the work you do?
The thing I enjoy the most about doing hair is building the client relationship. I get to have fun and interesting conversations with people over the years and it has been hugely rewarding. People come to see me for a variety of reasons and it's nice to just be there for them in the good and the bad. I'm always happy to listen!
4. What are your hobbies?
I love to spend my off time cycling and knitting. It's a goal of mine to cycle in every state and not get hit by a car! I'm a crafter at heart and love to work with my hands. When I'm not knitting I'm sewing and have been for 30+ years.
5. If you could travel anywhere in the world where would it be and why?
Definitely go back to Canada to see friends and family. I love Melbourne winter so I'm happy to enjoy the city that has become my home!
