Career Changing Advanced Cutting Programs
Bio
Emil Kleinfeller has a reputation for producing precision-crafted hairstyles. His down-to-earth approach and experience give him a unique and passionate flare, coming from three generations of hairdressers growing up in the salon. By age 16, Emil was apprenticing under two of Hungary's elite stylists, where he received a lifelong inspiration for education and laid a strong foundation.
After winning the National Junior Championship in his last year of education, Emil moved to Canada, where, before his 24th birthday opened his own salon. His attention to precision and technical excellence, combined with his passion for sharing and education, allowed his studio to thrive for 21 years continuously.
