CUTTERS
SIMON FARRELLY
“Being able to express myself as an individual through my work is such a privilege and shibui has enabled me to do just that. I believe that if the hair is cut with consideration for the natural texture then it shouldn’t require forced styling to achieve a result that works with ease every time. I love what we’re about, low fuss and understated beauty.”

I love the freedom that comes with the shibui cutting culture, and am excited that my personal style motto ‘imperfection is perfection’ is understood and embraced.”

Dry cutting is my thing, working with all hair textures; but curly hair is my favourite. I take a collaborative approach, working with my clients to achieve a look that works for their unique persona. Shibui’s heritage represents everything I love about the past and future in hairdressing.”
