Steve Williams
My barbering career began from a birthday gift at the age of 15. Receiving my first pair of clippers, not knowing what the future would hold. Fascinated by the craft of barbering and the power of social media got me where I am today. I am now 8 years in my career and part owner of OVO Studios. I want to inspire the next generation of barbers and show them first hand that anything in this industry is possible!

Nadine Claffey
Dublin-born, now based in Melbourne. With 6 years of barbering experience, Nadine started with a strong classic foundation – clean fades, sharp outlines, skin-tight finishes. These days she’s all about texture, movement and soft, expressive lived-in styles. I love making people feel seen through their hair – making sure their cut reflects their vibe, style and tribe. For me, it’s all about guiding client to be themselves.

Lorenzo Manuelle
I got into cutting hair late. I started at the beginning of 2022 and fell completely in love with it. Starting as an apprentice at 25 then transitioning to junior barber was tricky but very quickly made my way up to qualified barber and then moved into an education role as well as managing the shop I was at. I love the barbershop for its simple goal of making people feel good. I’m also a very creative person so being able to create different hairstyles is something I enjoy. I can’t wait to continue to learn and grow as a barber and educator.

Liam Saunders
With nearly a decade of experience in barbering, my passion for the craft has only intensified. Currently, I have the privilege of working at The Barber Club, a place where I first fell in love with the complexity’s hair has to offer. I have always been drawn to the precision of sharp lines, the dynamic flow of movement, and the intricate textures within each haircut. My absolute passion in barbering is the art of beards and how they can define someone’s face with different unique shapes and lines.
