Fadel Rahall's story is a testament to the power of immigration and the opportunities it can provide. As a 30-year veteran of the barber trade, he immigrated to Canada in 1990 from Lebanon with his family in hopes of security and opportunity. Fadel worked tirelessly in the Asbestos mines of BC before trekking his family to Edmonton, Alberta where he opened his very first salon, "Sassoon's Hair." Fadel, along with his five brothers, has created a foundation for the hair industry today, establishing a strong competitive place in the barbering and salon world. Fadel is known for his humor and joy of being around people, and his passion for gardening gave him the joy of feeding everyone.

In an effort to give back and provide new opportunities for newcomers to Canada, We are honored to create a scholarship through the Alberta Barber Academy. This scholarship provides a chance for new immigrants to pursue their dreams and make a change, much like Fadel did. Today, Fadel is a current educator at the Academy, inspiring and training the next generation of barbers.

Fadel Rahall's story is a true example of the Canadian dream, and his dedication to helping others achieve that dream is truly inspiring.
