Jonathan began his hairdressing apprenticeship in 2002 in Fitzroy. As a young man he worked worked all over Melbourne trying to find where he fit within the industry.
Following a few trials and tribulations he decided to head overseas to be inspired, so he studied at Vidal Sassoon Academy in London.
He came home inspired and decided to take on the transition into barbering. Which he has done for the past 3 years doing pop ups throughout Melbourne and Adelaide, tattoo conventions, festivals and also learning from some of the best barbers across this country and internationally.
Working in Prahran was the major stepping stone for him to begin his new venture - Valiant Barbers.
