Grooming sanctuary

Mr. Hung

Mr. Style

Every barber at House of Barbaard has a unique style. Hung has always desired to be different, whether it’s fashion, lifestyle or grooming he knows about it.

There was a time he fell in love with painting and learned how to draw by gradually picking up some basic skills and techniques about how to hold and control a brush. The same happened with his interest in barber arts, it gradually developed from interest, to passion, and ultimately in to his way of life.

Hung started with essential steps until he reached the higher levels after finishing his six months of training at House of Barbaard. The motto Hung has been living by for years: “Whatever you do, put all of your effort and spirit into it”.

Mr. Qui

The Artist

 If you would rewind 4 years back, you could have already seen Qui doing some magic with his hands, however not with the scissors but a… DJ mixer. At the time, our Artist was still hopping between bars following his DJ-ing career. After going back to his hometown in Tien Giang, he worked in a hair salon as a hair stylist assistant. But Qui didn’t find his passion for working with women’s hair.

One day he came across a House of Barbaard video, following his instinct, Qui made his friends the ‘guinea pigs’ for him to practice the same haircut on. Also hair styling, but these classic men hairstyles somehow excites him so much more.

To Qui, being able to hold the scissors in his hands every day is what makes him happy. You will see him walking inside the barbershop always with a smile on his face.

“Music gives wings to the mind while a nice haircut gives you confidence, and these things will help you go further in life”.

Mr. Tuan

Mr. Parker

If you are one the guests that have been with House of Barbaard Hanoi since the beginning, you might think that there is something familiar about this guy, as Tuan used to be the one who takes care of your bikes during your visit.

Before joining House of Barbaard, Tuan used to work for his family’s hair salon. But at the young age of 18, after one year of learning and practicing, he still only knew how to cut and trim little boys’ hair. Unable to motivate himself within the family’s business, Tuan made up his mind to find what else the world has to offer.

Working as the parking guy for roughly a year, Tuan had observed the difference in the appearance of the visiting gentlemen before and after leaving House of Barbaard. What impressed him the most was how satisfied the guests were and how only a haircut could bring some joy, hence his dream of becoming a barber began.

Soon his wish came true, Tuan confidently applied for a trainee position when he heard House of Barbaard was looking for new barbers. And so we had another interview with Tuan, a long conversation that led to a new big step in his career. Finally, with his great passion and determination, plus 6 months of extensive training, Tuan is now one of House of Barbaard’s official new barbers. We proudly present you Mr. Tuan – Mr. Parker!

Mr. Cong

Mr. Kiss

A barber with a student look.

Mr Kiss, came in contact with men’s grooming on an early age. His childhood was filled with sounds of scissors and conversations between his dad and customers. Growing up along the cutting tools and instructions given by his dad strengthened his passion for being a barber day by day.

He then was trusted to cut his father’s regular customers, and his friends, sometimes even walk in customers. However, he realized something was still missing and he was determined to keep improving his skills. One day, the door at House of Barbaard opened and Cong eventually found out that the world – class barbering culture is exactly what he is searching for.

If you have to choose two words to describe this guy; “enthusiastic” and “eager” would be the best.

Mr. Vu

Mr. Fix

The comedian – that’s another nickname this guy goes by.

His sense of humor is always an integral part in every party at House of Barbaard. Having worked and studied in Germany for quite some time gave Vu the chance to know more about Europe as well as immerse himself into its lifestyle and culture. He found his passion for the barber arts in the city of Hannover. The noisy classic atmosphere, the sound of scissors clicking inside the nearby barbershops attracted him every day on the way from and to his university.

Vu had an incredible backbone and managed to turn his passion into his profession by learning the basic skills bit by bit, all by himself. His dream eventually came true as he made his return to Vietnam to join House of Barbaard and keep developing his “Zero to Hero” story.

Vu’s humor and charm will be the first things you notice when sitting down in his chair. His endless stories about fashion and lifestyle will make your experience at House of Barbaard unforgettable.

Mr. Khuyen

The Guardian

All gentlemen at House of Barbaard always pay a great deal of attention to their outer look, and Khuyen is no exception. To Khuyen, a day wouldn’t be completed without having perfect hair. But stopping at perfecting his own hair would be too ‘ordinary’ and boring, Khuyen told to himself.

This is why the young guy decided to go down the road of training himself to become a barber, first by watching videos, doing some self-learning, and practicing nonstop.In everything he does, Khuyen always try to break the norms. Simply because he realises that it is very hard to make someone satisfied, if all you do is just to repeat the same thing over and over again following some kind of ‘formula’, without adding some creativity and value to it.

Unlike his cheerful and happy personality, Khuyen’s posture always seems too stiff and ‘serious’, something that we would sometimes joke about. And that’s why we came up with a wonderful nickname for him – The Guardian. So there we have it, the little warden of House of Barbaard, who is also the youngest member of the family up until this point.

Mr. Bao

Romeo

Introducing the most romantic guy of House of Barbaard. He can spend hours with his guitar to bring joy to people, but the audience will most likely be the ladies.

Using the same skilful fingers, Bao will make your hair perfect with his pair of scissors. With Bao, the feeling of holding the scissors in his hands is just as inspiring as when he’s holding the guitar.

If Shakespeare’s Romeo comes to Juliet’s to sing every night, then now we have House of Barbaard’s Romeo who also creates another type of art everyday using his scissors. Bao is now living the best days of his life because his greatest dream has come true: became a Gentleman at House of Barbaard.

Mr. Tai

The Zookeeper

You can most likely feel the down to earth and kind vibe from Tai if you would ever meet him, because he was really raised in a farm. Tai grew up close to nature in a small village in Dong Thap, that’s probably why he has an endless love for all kinds of animal.

Used to follow Automotive Engineering studies, but Tai shared that the time he spent to learn and watch different videos about barbering is even more than the time that he actually spent on studying.While most of his friends are into the trendy Korean styles, Tai grows his beard and goes for the classic hairstyles.

House of Barbaard is the catalyst that motivates him to follow his passion for hair, and became a real barber. Introducing The Zookeeper, the caretaker of House of Barbaard zoo. 

Mr. Tung

The Surgeon

The nickname The Surgeon came from Tung’s ability to correctly guess what people wants and needs, even when you guys are just met. As if he is performing some kind of special ‘surgery’ on you to find that out.Before joining to House of Barbaard, Tung used to be an assistant in a dentures clinic. A job that is completely differently from grooming or Gentleman style, the only common is that both jobs require special skills in using the hands.

After 3 years of working there, Tung no longer has motivation in the creation of dentures. At his most frustrated moments, he accidentally heard of House of Barbaard, and Tung was immediately fascinated by the classic Gentleman vibe here.

To Tung, House of Barbaard is like a second home, and a place where he can freely pursue the gentleman style and his passion for grooming and hairstyling, not only for himself but nowadays also for other people. The Surgeon is ready to serve you at House of Barbaard.
