@teegandyson_hair
I fell into barbering when I was 16. I’ve been in the industry now for 14 years & haven’t looked back since. I just recently made the move to Melbourne from Tasmania, and am now working at the Barber Club in Port Melbourne.
I love doing fades, scissor work & always pushing myself to learn and grow as a person & as a barber.
@aidanscuts
I have been cutting hair for the past 7 years and am still loving and learning my craft more each day. I have just opened my own shop which has been a dream of mine since I could remember. I have since joined the gamma + education team to help spread my knowledge and teach others!

@joeforkan1
I started my career 4 years ago by getting inspiration from hairstylists on the internet, to me wanting to be just like them. I started cutting hair from my house in Ireland, and now work in Australia, gaining knowledge from many different kind of hairstylists, to gathering each little detail from them and putting it into my own twist. Barber/Head Stylist at Stanford Barbers (Mount Hawthorn, Perth, Western Australia).

@lukeebarber
I seek to be the best modern barber to my clients of Wilks Cuts Barbershop. My passion for barbering is a big as my Nike sneaker collection (@TunedAirAus Instagram sneaker collector page 11k followers) with well over 100 pairs of sneakers. I ensure I arrive looking fresh to the barbershop each day with a different pair of kicks. (WilksCuts Barbershop, Berowra NSW)
@benjamincucanic
With years of experience cutting in renowned shops and learning from the industry’s best, I’ve honed my craft to perfection. Yet, it was during the challenging times of COVID-19 that I discovered a deeper calling. I transitioned to running my own private suite from home, achieving greater success part-time than in a traditional shop setting. But success isn’t just about personal gain. It’s about lifting others. As an ambassador for Gamma+, my mission is to empower the next generation of barbers. With dedication, not just years, I’ll show you how to redefine your journey, maximize your earnings, and master the art of barbering. (Melbourne, Victoria)
@manuele_cuts
My names Lorenzo Manuele, I got into cutting hair late. I started at the beginning of 2022 and fell completely in love with it. Starting as an apprentice at 25 then transitioning to junior barber was tricky but very quickly made my way up to qualified barber and then moved into an education role as well as managing the shop I was at. I love the barbershop for its simple goal of making people feel good. I’m also a very creative person so being able to create different hairstyles is something I enjoy. I can’t wait to continue to learn and grow as a barber and educator.
@maeve_rice_hair
I started cutting hair 5 years ago at the age of 16, I learned mostly from watching videos on YouTube & spending my weekends in salons watching other barbers, I love to keep up with modern barbering, always trying out new styles and trends ! I started out cutting hair in a small town where I am from in the south of Ireland and have recently made the move to Perth WA in hopes to progress my career even further where I was offered an amazing opportunity to work in @stanford barbers where I am a lead educator | Senior Barber
