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.”
BRENT BARBER
“With over 30 years in the game, including 10 in one of London’s most awarded salons, it’s great being back in my native Melbourne with shibui. 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.”
JAMES ANNABEL
““Over 20 years of hair experience, including time in New York and London, I’ve built a love of creating effortless and enduring hair. 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.”
ELISA DE GRANDIS
“Passionate about the craftsmanship of hair cutting, I am an accomplished hairstylist with over 20yrs of industry experience. I encourage my clients to embrace a natural way of wearing their hair by creating low maintenance styles that can be easily cared for at home. I’m also obsessed with wavy and curly hair. I love people and hair, so working with hair is a pleasure and working at shibui epitomizes everything I love about hairdressing.”
OPHELIA CONSTABLE
“I’ve been passionate about cutting hair since I was 3 and cut off my first ponytail under the kindergarten desk. 20 years and a lot of mentoring later I can still cut off a ponytail but I much prefer to create real wearable styles. Working with each individual’s natural texture and movement, the shibui way, gives me freedom to work and express my personal style and create that unique haircut for every individual, which is quite satisfying.”
JASPER HUNT
“Hairdresser by trade, musician at heart, I love supporting people on their hair journey. Shibui’s philosophy gives me a creative outlet in addition to my music, and allows me to continue my creative dry cutting journey as I help my clients express their style in interesting new ways. One of the best parts of my job is meeting new people and building a relationship with them.”
