Oleg Hadzhalov
A Kyiv barber since 2019. Owner of the HASAMI studio and education platform. I work with men's hair: longer shapes, fades, beard design, grey camouflage, creative cuts.
How I came into the trade
First step
Started out behind the chair. Searching for my own aesthetic, drilling technique on hundreds of clients — from the classic base to decisions of my own.
First students
Brought two students up from zero on my own methodology and programme. Taught beginner courses at the Kyiv Hairdressing Academy.
Masterclasses and a win
A run of one-to-one and group masterclasses across Ukraine. First place in a fade competition against fifty entrants.
On stage
Speaker at Barber Fusion and Barber Connect alongside international masters — around a hundred people in the room at each.
HASAMI studio and One Shot
Opened my own studio in Kyiv. A work in the Fade category made the world top 100 at the One Shot Hair Awards 2025.
Poland and the online school
My own masterclass in Poland — a first taste of teaching abroad. Launch of the online school with courses and an AI assistant.
A haircut is not a set of techniques, it is a system. Shape, structure, and how the barber thinks.
Every line is deliberate. Not improvisation — an exact result that holds until the next visit.
I don't teach you to copy, I teach you to think. Understand the shape and you can repeat it on any head.
In the work, in the teaching, in the service. Better to do less — but cleanly.
