INSPIRING ENTREPRENEUR
By Jacqui Chaisson
S ean Aylward says he doesn't like the word modesty, he much prefers to be known as 'humble', "Humble means being proud without overstating it," explains Aylward, owner of The Humble Barber. Originally from Summerside, Aylward, like so many, left the Island after graduation to search for adventure. After 10 years spent in Alberta, Newfoundland, Ontario and barber school in New Brunswick, Alyward returned to his roots. In 2015 Alyward opened The Humble Barber in Summerside, offering traditional services with a modern twist to patrons aged eight months to 94 years. The Charlottetown location opened in January 2016 and it's obvious that the shop's popularity grows every day. They offer all natural products that are good for your hair and scalp, as well as products for your beard and face like salves, oils, shave gels and more. The Humble Barber has a menu of services, everything from The Standard — a great haircut finished with a straight razor lineup on the temples and back of the neck — to the The Beard Trim — freehand trim to square your jawline and make your beard one that we all envy. After shaping, a hot towel is applied to prepare for the straight razor shave along the neck and cheeks, finished with premium beard oil or balm. So whether you live in Summerside or Charlottetown, or anywhere on the island a full-time resident or just visiting, make your appointment Online for a little pampering at The Humble Barber.
