Who is MJ?

I’m Mohamad El Haj and known as MJ.

My journey in barbering has been nothing short of transformative.

In 2011, I arrived in Australia as a refugee, seeking a new beginning in a land of opportunity. With faith and guidance from GOD, I pursued my passion for barbering, gaining valuable experience in barbershops across the country. This journey refined my skills and strengthened my dedication to the craft, laying a solid foundation for future success.

Today, Ministry Barbers stands as a tribute to resilience and artistry. I’m proud to have introduced the first barbering program in NSW high schools, inspiring young people to embrace this profession with skill and professionalism. Through social media, I’ve had the privilege of impacting lives and motivating others nationwide.

With features on SBS World News and Channel 9, my path continues to evolve with the creation of Ministry Barbers Academy, where aspiring professionals can learn, grow, and excel in barbering.
