We’ve Won Best ANZ Barber Educator of the Year!

We’re proud to announce that we’ve been awarded Best ANZ Barber Educator of the Year—a massive recognition of the hard work, passion, and commitment of our entire education team.

This award isn’t just about one person. It’s a reflection of the culture we’ve built—one where students come first, learning is hands-on, and our educators are real working professionals who stay sharp, relevant, and ahead of the trends. From mastering classic cuts to leading advanced fades and modern styling techniques, our team has consistently delivered high-quality, industry-aligned training.

Our educators don’t just teach skills—they mentor. They invest in each student’s journey, ensuring every learner leaves with confidence, capability, and a clear path into a successful barbering career. Whether it’s in the classroom, on the floor, or backstage at competitions, we show up with purpose.

This award belongs to every student who put in the work, every educator who raised the bar, and every supporter who believed in our mission. Thank you for being part of our journey.

We’re just getting started. Award wins are great—but impact is better. We’re proud of both. Let’s keep elevating the barbering industry.
