PETER GOSLING

HEAD OF EDUCATION

GLASSBOX BARBERSHOP & EDUCATION


Peter (Co-Founder of GLASSBOX Barbershop & Institution) began cutting and styling hair when he was 20 years of age, and trained inside the AVEDA Institute and Academy in Toronto. Inspired by music and fashion, he worked at some of Toronto’s top salons, but quickly realized these shops weren’t built for short hair styling and barbering. And so, in 2015, he and partners founded the first GLASSBOX Barbershop.

Combining traditional barbering and contemporary mens hair dressing, Peter and Glassbox Barbershop helped revolutionize the new wave of mens hair in North America.

Striving to share his insight, Peter built a curriculum based on the key elements which he considers to be the GLASSBOX fundamentals. The goal of which is to teach students not only specific haircuts or styles, but the technique behind them. The offering is targeted to build the confidence of new stylists just starting out, and to help advanced stylists in search of elevating, evolving and perfecting their craft.
