My name is Demian, I am 34 years old from Serbia. Since being 10 years old I knew that I was going to become a hairstylist/barber. After middle school I went to the barbershop of the famous Serbian hairdresser, Dejan Misic, and asked if I could learn from him. I spent my free time after school in his salon and I was ‘stealing skills’ with my eyes and then practising on my friends and family. As time passed I became more and more passionate and for my 18th birthday, as a present from my family, I got an advanced course in the Vidal Sassoon academy in London. I spent six months in London and learned from the best educators in the world. Vidal Sassoon is the GOAT when it comes to hair and this was a fantastic experience. I wanted to travel the world and gather the ‘scissor science’ from every corner of the globe. My journey started on a cruise ship for Steiner Company. I had two amazing contracts and visited 5 continents. After that I worked on the Cayman Islands for 2 years, where I performed shows and seminars with the great Eclipze team. After that adventure I was in Serbia for some time, where I was a part of the Goldwell artistic team. Finally, my wild spirit brought me to the desert. I worked in a few well known barbershops gathering knowledge from many different barbers from many different backgrounds. Since arriving in Dubai, I’d heard a lot of nice stories about Chaps & Co and a few friends recommended them to me saying I should join them. And they were right! It feels like I found my lost family after a long time. Now I am excited and ready to conquer everything with the company. I’m looking forward to the many years ahead and great achievements that await us.
