TESTIMONIALS

“I was a very new barber when I did Gino's hair program at Haides. I specifically remember learning shear techniques. Doing the hands-on program made sure these theories made sense to me. Gino and Haides are well respected and recognized in the Lower Mainland. I would recommend the HaidesEDU course to anyone looking to develop their skills.

“I had recently finished six months of barber school when I met Gino and the team at Haides back in 2016. I had a base understanding of barbering and skill set was minimal. I decided to elevate my knowledge and skills by taking Haides 8 week education program.

It was exactly what I needed to take my skills to the next level. I learnt a lot about the craft, but also the community of barbering, mindset and power of networking.  I’ve carried those skills throughout my barbering career, and have built a fully booked, successful business. Gino is a great educator, and has built an amazing team at Haides.

Almost ten years later I still carry a friendship with Gino and the Haides team. I highly recommend furthering your career with education.”

“I took the HaidesEDU beginners course back in 2020 after I picked up barbering during Covid. I had already watched a few videos on YouTube and only few months of actual cutting experience. After taking the course, it showed me the artistry in the midst of technicality in barbering. The beginners course helped set a solid foundation in my career today.

Everything from shapes, shade, the little details and more importantly, how to preform at a higher level as a barber (this goes for how I built and treat clientele). Taking part in investing my time and money into HaidesEDU also surrounded me around likeminded individuals that are looking to better themselves and their business. The biggest thing I learned from HaidesEDU was that how you do one thing, is how you do everything. You take time, care and attention in your craft and that energy will also bleed into how you live your daily life.

HaidesEDU gave me a blueprint on how to start off on the right foot. By taking time to learn from someone else’s experience and guidance helped me get to where I am faster than I would have if I learned on my own terms”
