CUTTERS
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.”
AARON ALLINSON
“With a background specialising in precision cutting and tailored, wearable hair, my work is defined by clean lines, balance, and an understanding of individual shape and texture. Starting my hair story 14 years ago in the UK, I bring a considered and detail-oriented approach to each appointment, focusing on creating hair that is both effortless and enduring. My experience working in high end salons in the UK and Australia have taught me to be calm, approachable and relaxed while delivering a consistently high standard of work.”
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.”
MARINA SAMUEL - UNDERSTUDY
“For over 8 years, I’ve dedicated my craft to natural curly hair in all its forms from strong, coarse textures to effortless waves. I believe curls are meant to be embraced, not controlled, and nothing inspires me more than seeing my clients leave with renewed confidence.
I’ve always been drawn to working alongside a team that shares the same passion and standards. Being part of Shibui team, where natural hair is truly understood, celebrated, and approached with such a high level of care and quality has been incredibly inspiring for me, and continues to push my work even further.
My approach is all about creating personalised cuts that work with your natural texture and enhance your individual features, leaving you feeling confident, comfortable, and empowered every time.
