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.
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

Our approach is built on two essential pillars:
