Our Founder: Johan’s Passion for Men's Hair Cutting & Styling in Leeds

At Smitin Hairsystems, our commitment to exceptional hair styling in Leeds begins with our founder, Johan. With an extensive background in hospitality, luxury service, and hairdressing, Johan brings a unique combination of professionalism, passion and technical skill to men's hair care. As a specialist in short haircuts and non-surgical hair replacements, Johan’s expertise and understanding of hair loss have made him a trusted name in the industry, especially for men seeking a personal touch to keep their hair refined.

From Hospitality to Hairdressing: Johan's Journey

Johan’s career journey is nothing short of remarkable. Starting as a restaurant manager in South Africa and later managing high-end restaurants and cocktail bars in Dubai, Johan was already known for his unmatched customer service. His transition to luxury cruise ships as a restaurant manager and wine sommelier allowed him to hone his ability to connect with clients from all walks of life. Underlying all of this, however, was a passion for hairdressing, even during his time at sea, where crew members would line up for haircuts from Johan long before he began his formal hairdressing training. Johan decided to focus on what he loves, laying down roots in Leeds to follow his dream of becoming a professional hairdresser. His journey from hospitality to hairdressing reflects his dedication to providing excellent service, which is now reflected in every aspect of Smitin Hairsystems.
