Jürgen – Head

I received my barber training in one of Great Britain’s most prestigious barbershop’s, a place where unique techniques were made a priority. Following the completion of my advanced training, I started working as a Style Director and simultaneously had shows with the International Artistic Team, London. Conducting seminars and spreading know-how has always been part of my life. Being a barber is my passion, it is not a job – it is my life philosophy.
In 2016, I decided to open the first traditional, American technique based, MEN-ONLY barbershop in Graz, Austria and HOLY TIGER BARBERSHOP was born.
Hard work and the constant urge to improve my techniques and creations further is what I stand for and can be characterized by. Being a barber is my passion and I can only be content when I know that I have given everything. This indomitable will has so far helped me achieving my goals and also won me some awards as for instance 1st place „Austria’s Best Barber”& 3rd place “Best International Barber”, (2017). I also partook at the Austrian Hairdressing Award in 2019 where I presented my new collection creations. My hard work paid off again, I won “Austria’s Hairdresser of the Year 2019 – Category: Men, East”.

After I launched my hair-stylist-collection that was inspired by subcultures and famous personalities from “the good old times” – I decided that it was time to pass this unique craft on to anyone interested. HOLY TIGER BARBER ACADEMY was born – Graz, Austria’s first traditional barber academy. Women and men are very welcomed here.

Instructing, educating and teaching others about how to become a barber is one of my great passions. Thanks to the knowledge I can provide, I am able to travel the world and am taking part at various events all around the world as for instance in Porto Alegre, Brasil Sao Paulo, Chile – just to name a few.

Since 2019 I also have a strong sponsor-partner by my site called “WAHL-GmbH”. It is one of the most renowned addresses to go to when it comes to anything regarding barber tools.

“Do what you love, do it with passion and with the touch of your own style.”
