Hi, I’m Alexandre, also known as Adga Hair. I’m a French barber based in Sydney. Nine years ago I moved to Australia with a Working Holiday visa, 4,000 dollars, no English and no plan. I worked many different jobs, learned English along the way, taught myself barbering, and today I run my own business.

My guides cover visas, costs, housing, finding work, and the real daily life of a newcomer, written from first-hand experience. They are available in English, French, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese. Follow me on Instagram @adga_hair for more.
