About Luc Vincent
Biography
Luc Vincent is a master hairstylist and a leading authority in his field, renowned for his unparalleled expertise in makeovers, particularly in cutting and colouring. His exceptionally brilliant career began at a young age, when he watched with fascination as his mother, a self-taught hairdresser, transformed the hair of neighbourhood women. This formative experience awakened in him, a few years later, a passion that would turn his calling into an iconic career.
Rooted in family tradition, Luc enrolled in a hairstyling school where he excelled, graduating with honours. But he didn't stop there; determined to prove his talent, he entered several prestigious international competitions right out of the academy, going head-to-head with the industry's best. He distinguished himself by winning prestigious competitions in Los Angeles. Luc Vincent quickly became a respected reference among his peers.
Recruited by a leading California-based haircare company, Luc rapidly rose through the ranks to become Artistic Director for Quebec and joined the international team responsible for testing new products—a role he was deeply passionate about. For over a decade, he educated and inspired thousands of hairstylists through conventions and international travel, while continuing his own training at the most prestigious academies in Los Angeles, London, and Paris.
The pinnacle of his artistic career came when he was selected by Cirque du Soleil to create the meticulously crafted custom wigs for the performers of the iconic show "O" in Las Vegas. Luc discovered a new passion for haircare product chemistry when he began collaborating with a Canadian styling products company, working alongside chemists in the lab to develop revolutionary haircare products that transformed the industry.
Luc Vincent is not limited to hairstyling; he is also an accomplished entrepreneur. Owner of two hair salons, he became a prominent figure on Quebec television through the show "Airoldi pour une sortie" on Canal Vie, where he was crowned the "king of makeovers" for his incredible hair transformations of more than 500 participants over five years.
In parallel, Luc published "Pas de quoi s'arracher les cheveux" in 2010 at the request of Éditions La Presse. The book became a true hairstyling bible designed to help women style their own hair at home. The publication propelled him onto the media stage, where he became a haircare columnist for radio and television stations, as well as renowned magazines.
With a rich and diverse career, Luc Vincent extended his ambitions beyond hairstyling. He created the workshop "Seul mon coiffeur le sait" in partnership with a psychologist, offering training to hairstylists to prepare them to intervene when clients show signs of psychological distress. His philanthropic commitment is also reflected in the opening of a non-profit salon, "Luc mon coiffeur," in Canada's oldest women's shelter, Le Chaînon.
In recognition of his exceptional dedication to the community, Luc Vincent received the Canadian John Steinberg Award in 2020.
Now that he has founded one of the most thriving haircare companies in Canada, Luc still carries the same mission: to create products that not only solve hair problems but also help women style their own hair and gain independence from their hairstylists. His extraordinary journey continues to inspire, embodying the spirit of a big-hearted artist with boundless creativity.
