Background: Four years at Calia Hair. ​ Specialties: Men’s Cuts ▪ Women’s Cuts ▪ Kid’s ▪ Fades ​ Most defining moment as a stylist? When I realized that giving someone a good haircut they love, is incredibly rewarding for me. There is something so satisfying about helping a client find a new look that works for them! Favourite stylist tip? It’s always better to work with your hair type than to try to force it to do something it doesn’t want to do. Best career advice? Pay attention to how your work makes you feel. You will always perform better in a job that fulfills you. ​ Greatest Joy? When I can help a client learn to love their hair, especially when they’ve never felt truly comfortable with it. ​ Tour de Force? I like to keep in mind how cuts will evolve over time, and not just focus on making it look good when the client leaves the salon. ​ Favourite Saying: I can cut more off, but I can’t glue it back on! ​ Favourite pastime? When I’m not doing hair, I enjoy making music in my spare time. What do clients say about the Ben experience? I’ve been told I’m a good listener, and very patient. I’m not going to try to sell you on a style and I will take the time to listen to your concerns. “Ben is the quintessential sounding board.”
