The Opportunity

A private client is seeking a skilled, old-school barber to provide traditional grooming services at his private residence, which features a fully built-out, professional on-site barbershop. This is a rare opportunity to work in a beautiful, dedicated private shop space with a single discerning client who values craftsmanship, consistency, and an authentic barbershop experience — done right, every time.

The ideal candidate is a true traditionalist: someone who trained in classic barbering technique and takes pride in the ritual of the shave, not just the result.

What You'll Do

• Provide traditional straight razor shaves, including hot towel prep, warm lather/foam application, and precise multi-pass technique for an impeccably close, clean finish

• Perform classic haircuts, beard trims, and line-ups as needed

• Maintain and bring your own straight razors, strops, and grooming tools in excellent condition

• Uphold the highest standards of hygiene and sanitation for all tools and equipment

• Deliver a calm, professional, and consistent client experience each visit

• Travel to the client's private residence in Etobicoke for each appointment (3–5x/week)

• Maintain strict discretion and confidentiality regarding the client, household, and property

What We're Looking For

• Valid Ontario Barber License / Certificate of Qualification

• Extensive hands-on experience with straight razor shaves. This is a core, non-negotiable skill, not an occasional service

• Formal barbering training or apprenticeship in traditional/classic technique strongly preferred

• Own professional-grade tools (razors, strops, brushes) in immaculate condition

• Punctual, reliable, and comfortable committing to a recurring weekly schedule

• Professional demeanor and high discretion working in a private household setting

• Reliable transportation to a residential Etobicoke location

• Clean background check (or willingness to obtain one)

Nice to have (not required): Experience serving high-net-worth or private clients; barbershop ownership or head barber experience; additional grooming services (hot shave facials, beard sculpting).

Compensation & Logistics

• $75–$100/hour, based on experience and skill level

• Please note: drive time and mileage are not included in compensation

• All tools, chair, and shop space are provided on-site; barber supplies own razors and personal kit

• Schedule and appointment days/times to be coordinated directly with the client

How to Apply

Interested candidates should submit a resume and be prepared to provide any available portfolio, photos, or references demonstrating straight razor shave work. Please be prepared to briefly describe your training background and years of experience with traditional shaving technique. Applications are being reviewed on a rolling basis for immediate start.

This position requires discretion and, where applicable, a signed confidentiality agreement prior to start
