Team
- Michael has been in and out of the hair Business since 1980. He was trained at Sassoon, London and with Irvine Rusk of Scotland. He worked (and occasionally still does in the film industry). After working the last 6 years as a barber he decided to open his own barber shop.
Michael
- Angela, a passionate barber, moved from Prince George to Vancouver Island when she was 15.
Angela
After finishing barber school she worked in a couple of barbershops in Victoria before helping to establish Avenue Barber.
Angela’s love for her profession prompted her to enter a local barber competition where she finished a close second. Following that, her aspiration took her to London, England, for education at the Sassoon Academy. This transformative experience not only honed her skills but also ignited her love for travel.
Angela’s dog, Rio, remains a constant presence at the shop, greeting everyone who enters. - Marilyn brings 20 years of experience to our Barber shop. She is very happy to be working with us and hopes to be here for a long time as Avenue continues to grow.
Marilyn
- Eliska originally began her career in hairdressing in her homeland of the Czech Republic. Her next stop was in Dublin, Ireland where she spent almost four years perfecting her skills in an Irish barbershop.
Eliska
In 2014 she jumped at the chance to bring her talent to Canada, but after spending four cold winters in Fort McMurray she started looking for greener pastures.
With a green thumb, passion for flowers and gardening the decision of moving to Victoria was an easy one.
Specializing in fades, skin fades and beard trims, Eliska brings a unique blend of creativity and precision to every haircut. - Alex has been a part-time barber for almost 4 years. She moved to Victoria for UVic in 2021, and Michael and Angela welcomed her into the Avenue Barber community! She's been gone for a while (traveling and studying hard) but is back for a week in August. Alex is excited to meet some new faces as well as catch up with some old friends!!

Come say hi—convince her to work a day or two into the school year as she studies for her English Honours and Creative Writing degree!

So, getting a haircut was on my to do list for awhile and I just couldn't seem to find a hair salon that was not too far away and didn't overcharge or upsell, unlike another I won't Chatter about here... Also, I had some concerns about Covid, so I waited until now when it seems the wastewater counts are steadily decreasing. I realize, though, that the hair stylists at Avenue Barber will wear a mask, if requested, and they have also posted info about their ventilation system - that's great for cold and flu season, too! Plus, they keep the door open in good weather. So, I had a really fantastic cut at a decent price and I am so pleased and relieved! My husband was also very happy with his haircut. We greatly appreciate your professional and affordable services and we will be back - I promise I won't wait two years next time! Thank you, Eliska and Avenue Barber!

Love Avenue Barber. Get a great haircut and some golf tips too. Michael is my main barber but being so popular I have tried them all with great success. Cheers
