Rob Barranca

Rob comes from a family of talented barbers and stylists. He has been submerged in the hair styling industry since he was a kid. His father, Tony, has owned his salon for more than 40 years and Rob grew up around the shop. 

Rob has traveled around the world and continued to master his craft from cruise ships to celebrity styling. Rob is committed to what once was a dying art, in order to reinvent the standards of the barber. He's a talented educator, platform artist, and official barber of the NHL Awards. When he isn't setting up shaves, you'll find Rob around town in his Porsche or in the back with friends.

Angelo Calanog

The kid. The prodigy. The legend. All at once? Damn straight. 
At only 20 years old, this kid has already been cutting hair for over 6 years! Born and raised in Dubai U.A.E., he moved to Canada in 2010 to be greeted with a terrible haircut from a chain. This experience led him to hone his skills and start with his own hair.

​After multiple compliments from his family and friends, Angelo decided to help others in need of fixing botched haircuts. His main goal is to ensure that his customers feel like a million bucks when they leave his chair.
