Barkworth is the owner of JUSTB Salon, Toronto and an international award-winning hairstylist with over 15 years of experience. He is also the founder of FASTFOILS and leads with a mission to inspire, educate, create and promote hair health. 

This month Barkworth is joined by Mark Woolley to discuss building a brand and community while continuing to work behind the chair.

Mark’s dedication to elevating British creativity, and the global perception of hairdressing, has been his fuel for innovation, collaboration and developing talent.

Most famously, Mark is the founder and International Creative Director of the leading British hair brand, Electric.

Electric is one of the beauty industry’s most celebrated hair brands, encompassing award-winning salons, an ethical products line, global education, a photographic and film studio, a shared workspace for leading creatives in central London, and its farm & headquarters in the Sussex countryside.
