Originally from Muntinlupa, Philippines, Edison moved to Canada in the spring of 2024 and quickly found his place at 8-Bit Barbershop. Before his move, Edison owned a barbershop in the Philippines but didn’t work behind the chair. Once in Canada, he decided to try his hand at cutting hair, and it turns out he’s a natural. His attention to detail, combined with his kindness, makes every cut a precise and thoughtful experience. Starting as an apprentice at 8-Bit, Edison has worked his way up to junior barber, delivering the same high-quality cuts expected from the shop’s senior barbers. While he may take a little more time to perfect his craft, the results are worth it. His favorite styles include classic side-part pompadours, which showcase his precision and passion. Edison didn’t have access to a lot of video games growing up, but his first gaming experience was on a Family Computer console, with Super Mario becoming his all-time favorite. Outside the barbershop, he enjoys playing tennis, following the NBA, and modifying cars with a focus on JDM/Japan setups. He’s also a talented musician, playing both the violin and guitar. Whether you’re looking for a sharp cut or just want to talk about sports, music, or cars, Edison brings a personal touch and dedication to every client who sits in his chair. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/656a31d543f402167d9fbe88/b5c057b2-8b4c-40a1-b08a-f7f47075494e/6C7A1366.jpg Welcome - Dan Faithfull Meet Dan "The Danager" Faithfull, the unsung hero and "Right Hand Dan" of 8-Bit Barbershop, the man who keeps the gears turning and the clippers buzzing.
