    FOUNDER

    For Avin, styling hair has always been a passion. From the day he first started training in his local barbershop more than 15 years ago to franchising the Crew Barber Class For Men brand in Ireland. In 2013, Avin established The Crew Academy in order to share his knowledge and his passion. As a Master in barbering, an American Crew All-Star Stylist and a VTCT trained educator and assessor, his vision is to provide the highest level of training to every student that walks through the Academy doors, and for them to ultimately leave feeling confident and equipped to start a successful career in barbering.
