Walid Rustom

With over 27 years of professional barbering experience, my career has been defined by traditional British craftsmanship, international excellence, and a deep respect for the heritage of the trade.

I began my journey in the UK, where I built a strong foundation in classic English barbering—precision cutting, razor work, and timeless grooming standards. My career soon took me to the international stage, working within prestigious luxury hotel salons across Dubai, including renowned Hilton Hotels & Resorts properties. There, I served a distinguished, global clientele, refining my skills in high-end service, discretion, and bespoke grooming.

Upon returning to England, I became the founder and driving force behind a highly respected barbershop, which I successfully built and led for 11 years. The shop became known for its commitment to authenticity, quality, and traditional values—earning a loyal clientele and a strong reputation within the community.

Four years ago, I relocated to Tampa, continuing my pursuit of excellence in barbering within the United States. Today, I bring together decades of international experience, British heritage, and refined technique—offering clients not just a haircut or shave, but a complete, elevated grooming experience rooted in tradition and craftsmanship.
