Heya for those of you who don’t know me yet I'm Aaron Brousseau and I’m a Lead Hair Artist at Salon Society in Regina, Saskatchewan.

If you’ve ever visited our beautiful space at 1368 Rose Street, you’ve probably seen me or at least experienced my larger than life personality! One of the things I’m known for is my eccentric facial hair. That is (most of the time) meticulously groomed. The question I get asked the most is “how long does that take?” or “how do you get it to do that?” I usually keep the answers short and sweet but today I’m going to show you all my secrets on how to style the perfect beard.

Wash and rinse with your favourite shampoo and conditioner, mine is KM Hydrate me wash and rinse or KM Stimulate me wash and rinse.
Use a cream based styling balm to detangle and hydrate. I use Olaplex #6 for its ability to keep the frizz away and gives added heat protection.
Apply a hair oil liberally. My pick is the young again oil from KM this will hydrate and moisturize and help keep your skin from getting dry and flaky.

Comb beard outward and trim unruly hair. Keep scissors running parallel with your beard or you might accidentally cut too much off. Don’t pull hair out with tension to cut it or you will have chunks missing when you comb it back into place.

Heat style, I use a round brush when I blow dry my mustache (that’s the best way to shape my magnificent handle bars) And my hands or a flat brush on the rest of my beard.
Style mustache with hard hold gel. Got2be Glued spiker has been my go to for years.
Then smooth out remaining fly away hair with a med hold balm, The KM Free hold is perfect for locking down the unruly stubborn hairs. It leave your beard feeling soft and smelling great.
