CARNEGIE BORN. BATTLE TESTED. MASTER BARBER.

I didn't just open a shop in Carnegie—I grew up here. From daycare on Neerim Rd to the classrooms of Glen Huntly Primary, this is my home turf.

The Unseen Battle (2016)

The road to opening Silk wasn't just about business; it was a fight for my life. In 2016, I was diagnosed with chronic pain. I lost the normal mobility in my upper torso and faced the dark battle of depression that came with it.

Most would have quit. But the setback didn't stop me—it fuelled me. Despite the physical limitations and the mental toll, I hassled my way to the finish line.

The Journey Home

My career has been a tour of resilience:

• Started in Caulfield North.
• Built a commercial space in Malvern East right before COVID hit.
• Fought through the pandemic; reestablished in Bentleigh East for four years.
• Overcame building issues and lease battles to finally bring my business back to where it all began: Carnegie.

My Obsession with Quality

Throughout this fight, I didn't just cut hair; I mastered the science of it.

• University Educator: Spent two years teaching Certificate III to the next gen.
• Elite Training: Reinvested over $10,000 of my own hard-earned income into mentorship from the USA’s top barbers in Tampa Bay, Florida.

My Promise to You

Now, I’m finally home. Silk Barbershop is the result of 10 years of grit, pain, and an obsession with quality. No apprentices. No rushing. Just a master cut from a local who fought against the odds to be here.
