Luc Vincent is a master of hairstyling and a reference in his field, renowned for his unparalleled expertise in makeovers, especially in cutting and coloring.

This formative experience sparked a passion in him years later that would transform his vocation into an iconic career.
Rooted in family tradition, Luc enrolled in a hairstyling school where he excelled, graduating with honors. His journey didn't stop there; determined to prove his talent, shortly after leaving the academy, he participated in several prestigious international competitions and measured himself against the industry's best. He made a name for himself by winning prestigious competitions in Los Angeles. Luc Vincent quickly became a respected reference among his peers.
Recruited by a leading Californian hair care company, Luc rapidly advanced to become the artistic director for Quebec and joined the international team for testing new products, which greatly excited him. For over ten years, he educated and inspired thousands of hairstylists through conventions and international trips, while continuing to train at the most prestigious academies in Los Angeles, London, and Paris.
The pinnacle of his artistic career was marked by his selection by Cirque du Soleil to perform meticulous haircuts on custom wigs for the artists of the iconic show "O" in Las Vegas. Luc discovered a new passion for the chemistry of hair products when he began collaborating with a Canadian hair product company, working alongside chemists in the laboratory to create revolutionary hair products that transformed the industry.
Luc Vincent is not just limited to hairstyling; he is also an accomplished entrepreneur. Owning two hair salons, he became a prominent figure on Quebec television thanks to the show "Airoldi pour une sortie" on Canal Vie, where he was dubbed the "king of transformations" for his incredible makeovers of more than 500 participants in five years.
Parallelly, in 2010, Luc published "Pas de quoi sโarracher les cheveux" at the request of รditions La Presse. The book became a true hairstyling bible aimed at helping women style themselves at home. This publication propelled him into the media spotlight, where he became a hair columnist for radio and television stations, as well as renowned magazines.
