SO...YOU WANT TO BECOME A BARBER?

🚫 THE PROBLEM

Barbering is one of the fastest-growing trades in North America — but here’s the hard truth: most new barbers quit within their first three years.

In Quebec, anyone can call themselves a barber — no prerequisites, no barriers to entry.

But the reality is brutal:

No regulations. No standards. No oversight.

Crash courses that promise quick skills but leave you unprepared.

Shops with no real training or mentorship.

💈THE OPPORTUNITY

With social media raising the bar, clients are more demanding than ever — and shops like ours are desperate for motivated, qualified talent

Barbers have been around for the last 4000 years.

A career built on people

A hub for community and connection

Always in demand
A craft that travels anywhere in the world
Help people look and feel their best
A booming trade where skilled barbers are always in demand
