MEET THE EDUCATOR
How did I start my career as a
BARBER IN THE US?
With almost two decades of experience within the industry, Tico has mastered a range of techniques from leading global academies. He has gained experience and knowledge from UK academies such as Menspire Academy and Ego Barbers as well as US academies including the Vidal Sassoon Academy and Paul Mitchell.
Originally from Brazil, Tico moved to the US at a young age and started his career in 2003. After working in salons and barbershops throughout his early life, Tico made the decision to open his very own innovative barbershop that differentiated from others in the industry. He believed that the industry had become too narrow-minded and thus did not offer enough for the modern man.
His barbershop, Invictus Barber Shop, was founded in 2017 in Coconut Creek, Florida. The shop quickly developed a reputation for providing truly outstanding haircuts and gained recognition around Florida. It attracted many famous Soccer and Basketball players, as well as UFC fighters and other celebrities, all lining up to get the perfect cut.
With the business booming, Tico required more skilled barbers to join his team of experts. However, it soon became apparent that a skilled barber was harder to find than he first expected. This resulted in the creation of the Invictus Barber Academy. He began training his own staff in his spare time and quickly developed a passion for educating young and upcoming barbers.

INVESTMENT
YOU ARE YOUR BEST INVESTMENT
WHY SOME BARBERS MAKE MORE MONEY THAN OTHERS?
Clients are willing to pay more if they see the value of the service they are receiving.
If you offer more, you can charge more.
PRODUCTIVITY ABOVE THE AVERAGE
While most barbers need 45 min to 1 hour to perform a quality haircut, after attending this workshop you will be able to cut almost any type of hair in 30 minutes.
IF YOU WORK 8 HOURS PER DAY
And charge $30 per haircut
8 hours = 16 haircuts
16 clients X $30.00 = $480.00 per day + tips
FAST RETURN ON YOUR INVESTMENT
One day of work will pay for this workshop. There is no limit on how much you can earn cutting hair, you can charge from $30 up to $300. And the best part: doing something you love!
