About Luc Vincent
Biography
Luc Vincent is a master hairstylist and a leading figure in his field, renowned for his unparalleled expertise in makeovers, particularly in cutting and coloring. 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 neighbors. 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 hairdressing school where he excelled, graduating with honors. But he didn't stop there; determined to prove his talent, fresh out of the academy, he participated in several prestigious international competitions and competed against the industry's biggest names. He distinguished 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 quickly climbed the ranks to become artistic director for Quebec and joined the international team for new product testing, which he thoroughly enjoyed. For over ten years, he educated and inspired thousands of hairdressers through conventions and international travel, 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 meticulously cut and style the custom wigs for the artists of the iconic "O" show in Las Vegas.
Luc discovered a new passion for hair product chemistry when he began his collaboration with a Canadian hair product company, working with chemists in the lab to create revolutionary hair products that transformed the industry.
Luc Vincent is not limited to hairdressing; 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 "king of metamorphosis" for his incredible hair transformations of over 500 participants in 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 hairdressing bible aimed at helping women style their own hair at home. This work propelled him onto the media scene, where he became a hair columnist for radio and television stations, as well as renowned magazines.
With a rich and diversified career, Luc Vincent extends his ambitions beyond hairdressing. He created the workshop "Seul mon coiffeur le sait" (Only my hairdresser knows) in partnership with a psychologist, offering training to hairdressers to prepare them to intervene in cases of psychological distress among their clients. His philanthropic commitment is also manifested through the opening of a non-profit salon, "Luc mon coiffeur," in Canada's oldest 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 Canada's most thriving hair care companies, Luc still maintains the same mission: to create products that not only solve hair problems but also help women style their own hair and gain autonomy from their hairdressers. His exceptional journey continues to inspire, embodying the soul of a big-hearted artist with boundless creativity.
