If you want to upgrade your classic men’s haircutting skills… this is where it starts.
Inside the Holy Ashtray in Rotterdam, barbers from all over the world come together for two days of pure focus, discipline, craft, and to learn the Schorem Haarsnijder En Barbier and Reuzel Pomade foundations behind every great traditional haircut.
From first-time flattops to refined classics, every student steps behind the chair and puts in the work. For some, it’s familiar territory. For others, it’s their first time touching these timeless shapes. And that’s where the shift happens… Confidence grows, technique sharpens and the understanding clicks.
Guided by Cris and Luki, every step, from sectioning to finishing, is broken down into a system you can take straight back to your shop.
This isn’t just education, it’s progression. A barbershop full of barbers walking in curious… and walking out sharper than before.
