Sammie Marleau

I found myself in this industry by accident. I used to be a baker, and when I needed a change of scenery, I was offered a position at a local barbershop. After 2 years of growth, learning the business, the clients, and staring at hair all day, I took a step forward. I pushed myself through 2 jobs, including a barista job, and eventually through a barber program and found myself in a welcoming community of barbers. I love this career because of the ever changing trends, and people/hair of all kinds. A land of never ending learning opportunities, and self growth. I love making people laugh, and creating a warm, judge free space. My favourite is when people give me creative freedom, because I will always do what I believe will work best for their hair type and lifestyle, and nothing makes my day more than when they can't stop looking at themselves in the mirrors as they leave.
