Scars and Strops

Congratulations to Makai and Ming on their promotion to apprentice barbers. We’ve seen exceptional growth in them in the last bit and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for them. Our only hope is that we cannot only aid in their growth as barbers, but also as men.

Class in now in session! 🎨🏫

Barbers are always looking for ways to keep their clients looking fresh and providing added value, and colour services is a frequent topic that comes up.

If you’re a barber looking to add colour to your skill set and making extra money, this class is for you. We’re partnering with to host a colour class at Scars + Strops Barbershop on Sunday, February 8 from 1-5PM. Learn how to apply colour the right way to avoid hair damage. This class will be focused on global bonding (commonly referred to as a “bleach out”) and includes:
-Basic Colour Theory
-Live Model Colour Demo
-Grey Blending Tips for Men

$150 per person. Light refreshments will be provided. Limited spots available, so RSVP now to avoid disappointment. 🚨

Note: This class is for barbers only as we are working with short hair. Longer hair length techniques are completely different.

From novice barber to director, JT climbed the ranks and directly impacted the success of the shop. He is one of the original 6, and we wouldn’t be here without him. Happy 32nd from the team and the community of Scars & Strops Barbershop!
