Ryan King ♦ @ryankinghaircutter

Ryan has been in the industry for 15 years. He began his career in London where he started to learn his trade in all things cutting before moving back to Australia in 2012. Ryan has worked in reputable salons and has mastered his craft of cutting hair behind the chair, on the stage, and behind the photographic lens in competitions.

Over the last 7 years, Ryan has competed in many competitions and prides himself on cutting hair. He has been a finalist for QLD Hairdresser of the Year and Master Cutter Australia on multiple occasions and this has helped him to hone his skills in the education area of the industry.

Education is very high on Ryan’s radar as he finds it is what elevates people’s careers, provides heightened confidence in the salon environment, and allows for pushing haircuts to stage or competition work levels.
