I am a licensed barber with a passion for creating stylish and polished looks for my clients.

Senior Groomer 

Specialize in all Mens scissor haircuts. In 2014, barbershops began to appear throughout Russia. I liked the vibe in them right away. I observed how the clients in the chair had radical transformations. I made the decision to become a barber because I admired how the masters operated. I started learning in 2015, and turned from a client to barber. It was one of the best decisions in my life. I'm not the one for you if you want a haircut in 20 minutes because I love to pay attention to details to create best haircuts. I collaborated with several media celebrities in Russia, including actors, musicians, and influencers. 

I'm excited to be in LA right now and to surprise you with my work.

Hi, my name is Dima, and I’m originally from Ukraine. I’ve been cutting hair for more than 8 years, starting out as a co-owner of my own barbershop back home, then working in Poland, Philadelphia, and now Los Angeles.

What inspired me to become a barber is the balance between creativity and precision. I love scissor work and creating shape and movement in longer hairstyles. Some of my favorite cuts to do are long hair with cross-graduation, modern mullets, and clean skin fades.

I draw a lot of inspiration from barbers in the UK, especially those known for their technical, detail-driven haircuts. Their approach to structure and precision has influenced the way I approach my own work.

Outside of the barbershop, I enjoy spending time with my wife and 2 kids, exploring new places in LA, and staying active.

I’m excited to bring my passion for barbering to this community and look forward to meeting new clients and creating fresh looks.
