Redefining the Grooming Experience in Durham Region

Torque & Trim Barbershop and Spa is where precision barbering meets luxury spa care. Located in Ajax, this modern grooming house offers a full range of services for men — from haircuts and beard trims to facials, scalp treatments, and signature grooming rituals. Spa services are also available for female guests, making it a truly inclusive space.

With a sleek, modern aesthetic and five-star hospitality — including complimentary beverages, heated parking, and state-of-the-art equipment — Torque & Trim delivers an experience that feels more like an escape than an appointment.

Nayab Chattha saw an opportunity to elevate the traditional barbershop experience. For her, grooming is about more than appearance — it’s about confidence, care, and the ritual of feeling your best. She envisioned a space where hospitality, precision, and relaxation coexist — and Torque & Trim was born.

Her goal? To create a space where every guest feels like a VIP and leaves feeling restored, confident, and cared for.

How BACD Helped

Even before construction began, Nayab connected with BACD to ensure Torque & Trim was built on a strong foundation. BACD provided:

• Guidance on local regulations and business requirements
• Strategies for funding and sustainable growth
• Community networking opportunities

Their support helped Nayab navigate the early stages with clarity and confidence, setting the tone for long-term success.

Since opening just three months ago, Torque & Trim has grown rapidly. With one location and a team of seven talented staff, the business has already made a strong impression in the community. The early success confirms that their unique blend of craftsmanship, spa-quality service, and hospitality truly resonates with clients.

Torque & Trim’s growth has been powered by a balanced marketing strategy — combining digital outreach, traditional methods, and word-of-mouth. But the real driver? Exceptional service. The positive experiences they create for clients have led to glowing reviews and organic growth that no ad campaign could match.

Nayab’s Advice to Aspiring Entrepreneurs

“Stay curious, plan carefully, and focus on creating real value for your clients. Surround yourself with mentors, ask for help, and put your heart into what you do. If you deliver exceptional service and genuinely care, success will follow.”
