About the educator
Co-owner of three barbershops in Kraków and Katowice. He honed his craft at courses with the founders of the Reuzel brand, Lord Jack Knife, and at The Old School Academy in Rotterdam. In teaching, he focuses on understanding the "why" and building awareness, rather than just replicating techniques. He explains both simple and complex topics clearly, from cutting to the ergonomics of working with clients.
He teaches in a methodical and calm way, focusing on understanding the fundamentals and logic behind every cut. His courses are for barbers who value precision and want to build hairstyles with intention, from the ground up.
