Pamela: “This year you’re going to see a lot (of moustaches) stick around.” – Toronto Star

December 4, 2010

“Men’s fashion has also taken a turn for the tough, and what goes better with hunter jackets and hiking boots than some facial hair?

“Just wait,” says Toronto barber Pamela Hackwell. “This year you’re going to see a lot (of moustaches) stick around. Fashion is supporting that look.”

Hackwell, who works in Gotstyle’s barbershop (currently under renovation on Bathurst St. at Wellington St.), says she caught her first glimpse of the moustache renaissance in New York City’s eternally hip Village neighbourhood about six years ago. “It was kind of kitschy then, kitschy cool,” she says. “And now it’s mainstream.””

Barber wanted – You gotta have soul!

September 2, 2010

SHARPS Barber and Shops are looking for a barber:

We’re looking for a barber to work in our shop opening soon near Wellington & Bathurst. Its a SHARPS Barber and Shop, so the barber has to have soul. If you can do a mean straight-blade shave, that’s a real asset, clipper work essential.

We have barbershops in other places around the world, so we know what makes a great barber, and what’s going to make this shop a real success. There’s nothing really like it in TO at the moment, so maybe this is the job you’ve been looking for.

Send an email to barbers@sharpsnyc.com with a profile of yourself, and what makes you a great barber for this job. We’ll be interviewing this weekend in Toronto, so don’t hold back, make the move!

Take it easy,
The SHARPS Team.
