Grooming With Distinction

Jeff began his career in 1995 at the Servilles Academy, where he was in the same class as Adrian.

Jeff spent many years working in high-end salons such as Bettjemans and Servilles, as well as industry training organisations. But a long-held interest led to a move 5 years ago to specialise in men’s cutting which saw him qualify as a Master Barber in 2018, under the tutelage of Kiwi barber legend Julian Maloney.

Jeff offers a full range of barbering services from scissor and clipper cutting to cutthroat shaves, all delivered in a relaxed professional manner synonymous with The Gentry.

Originally from Singapore, Sy has been cutting for three years. In 2015 he enrolled into a barbering course which he later completed with excellence. During his time at the academy he discovered a passion for cutting men’s hair and soon found work in Howick. Sy says he “enjoyed his time by applying his trade and sharpening his skills”, putting a smile on everyone’s face along the way with his quirky and unapologetic humour.
As well as connecting easily with people, Sy is also a man of many skills and interests. To name a few, he has served in the military, worked as a chef, an audio engineer and a video-editor. He is still an active actor and musician today. You can spot him in TV commercials, printed advertisements and short films.
