Soho is a special place, maybe even a hidden gem, that has been providing precision hair cutting and hair coloring service for over 10 years.
Founded by Barber Greg’s wife, Carole Lemire, Greg has spent the last decade working behind the scenes managing the books, sweeping up on the weekends, and managing the boring stuff.
After a fulfilling 15 years working in the boardroom, Greg felt himself yearning to hang up the suit jacket and the Zoom meeting life to embrace his creative side.
Becoming a barber was a huge leap and not without fear but life on his new full-time path at Soho as a barber has been quickly gaining exciting momentum and opportunities.
When contemplating the barber life, Greg’s wife Carole, a 20+ year accomplished Master Stylist and Educator in her own right, was ultra-supportive and based on her own experiences training in London, encouraged Greg to go to England to learn the trade of barbering.
Once the decision was made, it didn’t take long for Greg to register at the prestigious London School of Barbering in central London.
In September of 2019, Greg left for London, England to live for 4 months to attend barber school.
Staying in a small flat in the London borough of Islington, not far from St. Paul’s Cathedral, Greg had a short 15-minute walk to school daily and lived steps away from amazing restaurants, an outdoor football pitch, and plenty of great pubs!
