GLOBAL TRIBULATION MET WITH EXPANSION

Due to regional governmental regulation surrounding the spread of COVID-19, much of this period was spent with the closure of the MEN ZONE location/s.

When permitted to open, the Oakville location was establishing a dominant presence within the industry through their exceptional services and hygienic protocals. Despite the uncertain economic conditions, MEN ZONE introduced their third (and first fully franchised) MEN ZONE location in Oakville (Hyde Park).

THE FRUITION OF DECADES OF EXPERIENCE

For the Co-founders, this was not a rushed and impulsive decision; rather the direct fruition of an unwavering entrepreneurial spirit harmonized with decades of direct experience in technical skill development, and the dynamic business environment. This combined with their deep fascination for perfection, professional expertise, and passion for entrepreneurship meant that no barbering experience could ever meet their expectations.
