Top5 StudiosBrampton barbershop · est. 2023
Top5 Studios is a Downtown Brampton barbershop that is deliberately more than a barbershop: cuts, braids, tattoos, events, and a community around them. The site had to carry all of that without turning into a generic "book a haircut" template.

The challenge
What we were solving.
Most barbershop sites are a price list and a phone number. Top5 Studios is positioned as a brand and a place, so a utilitarian booking page would have undersold it. But the brand story could not come at the cost of the practical job: letting someone book a chair in a few taps.
The approach
How we built it.
A brand, then a booking
The design leads with the "more than a barbershop" positioning, warm gold on black, real footage of the shop, and the community framing front and center, then routes cleanly into booking. It sells the place first and takes the appointment second, in that order.
Events and team as first-class pages
Events and the team each get their own space rather than a footer mention, because they are a real part of what the brand is. That gives regulars a reason to return to the site between cuts, not just when they need one.
One brand, two storefronts
Top5 Studios and the Top 5 D.O.A apparel line share an identity and infrastructure, with the clothing living on its own storefront under the same brand. The barbershop site is the anchor of that small ecosystem.
