Starks Barber Company

I am a former employee at Starks Barber Company. I worked as a receptionist throughout the 2019 summer before I headed back to university. Starks Barber Company is by far one of the best companies I have ever worked for. The owners are very organized, and involved in all their locations. All the staff at Starks are kind, helpful, and very communicative. Everyone works as a team here and is always willing to help each other out. Management is wonderful and are very helpful in all aspects of the shop. The atmosphere here is always fun and energetic making it very enjoyable coming to work. The clientele Starks has is wonderful and everyone is so kind and just as excited to see you as you are to them. I loved every second working with my Starks family and I know they will have continued success in all future endeavours.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I love my job, and I enjoy communicating with smart, interesting people.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The manager is unprofessional, doesn’t know her job at all, doesn’t know how to build a business correctly.  I think that she never studied to be a manager, she just got lucky by some chance.  she doesn't know absolutely how to do business

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Not a friendly team, everyone snitches, complains, peeps.... It’s very difficult to work in such an environment... you’re constantly stressed

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I already said a lot of stress and no interest in going to work.

I came from a slow paced hairdressing shop and wasn't sure what to expect with Starks. I was very pleasantly surprised! As a new employee I quickly had my appointment spots filled with clients. 
The clientele is on the higher end and the retention rate is very good. Clients are fun to talk to and many like to keep booking with the same barber. 
The management is amazing with training new barbers, and with new or trendy cuts. They are very helpful with allowing extra time until you are comfortable. 
There is tons of room for advancement, new shops are popping up all the time!
I would definitely recommend working with Starks to anyone looking to advance with their barbering career!

I started with Starks right out of hair school and have worked my way up to assistant manager of their Markham location. They started training me from day one and I really developed my skills quickly here with the help of some of their senior stylists. It’s a great team atmosphere and everyone was always willing to help me learn. In a few short years I’ve worked my way up into a training role which has been really cool and rewarding. I’ve been busy since the day I hit the floor at Starks and the customers are very loyal.

I’ve been with Starks for 4 years and there is no better place. The barbers here love what they do and work well as team. Management is amazing very accommodating and understanding. At Starks they want what is best for you and the client. Focus on education, client experience, on your feet, allows you to get involved, paid lunch, paid hourly. Very consistent and fast paced. Can be hard on the body but worth it. 

I have been with Starks since the day they opened their first store. Over the years I’ve taken on roles as a manager, trainer and learned a lot about the business. I’ve recently been promoted to become their first area manager and really feel as though I am growing as the company grows. I believe there is endless opportunity here and the owners are very ambitious and dedicated to the staff’s overall happiness. Great company!

Nice people. Learned a lot about doing mens hair. Long hours. Not very accommodating to days off. 
Will cut hours if shop is slow. It was a good experience but I outgrew the environment. Coworkers are nice. Clients r nice. I’m good area. 

If you have mental health problems please run away from this company especially their Whitby, ON location.  They do not respect nor have the patience for your mental health. They also have such high turnover rate for receptionists. Toxic environment all over. Red flags all over. Please run away.

I was a little skeptic working in a barber shop after sending years in a full service unisex salon, I decided to give it a go, and to my surprise here I am seven years later. 
I have nothing but good things to say about the management team and all of my co workers who have become family to me. Our clients are fantastic and it has been a pleasure being a part of Starks since the beginning

I love working for Starks Barber Co Toronto, because of its familiar atmosphere, the owners are very understanding and supportive, customers are friendly and kind. Moreover, my colleagues are collaborative and willing to help you when needed.
