Join Gale Canji of 1180 studio and John Radu of Cannibale Barbershop for an exclusive, immersive experience redefining men’s hairstyling. Part of the 1180: Cultivate series, this event dives into the rich heritage and evolving artistry behind shorter hairstyles. Honoring the traditions that shaped our craft while inspiring new creative possibilities.

Designed for barbers, hair stylists, and artists ready to move beyond surface-level trends, this class blends history with innovation. Discover how to create bespoke cuts tailored not only to individual style but to lifestyle—transforming each haircut into a deliberate, personalized work of art.

Step away from the salon and the endless scroll of reels and pins. This is a thoughtful, art-driven workshop encouraging observation, intentionality, and curiosity. It’s a chance to reconnect with what you love about the industry, deepen your craft, and join a community that champions creativity over ego.

If you’re an independent or salon-based stylist seeking meaningful connection and inspired growth, this is your invitation to join us. Explore the roots of our profession and unlock new creative potential with 1180:cultivate. Redefine what men’s hairstyling can be—one purposeful cut at a time.
