About Us
The journey to create Noble by Greg Young has been one of resilience, passion, and dedication. Greg Young, a licensed Master Barber, overcame a troubled childhood, years of addiction, and periods of homelessness and incarceration to build a life of purpose and success. On July 7, 2013, he walked into an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, a decision that saved his life and set him on a path of recovery and transformation. Barbering became the craft that changed his life, giving him purpose and a platform to connect with others.
Today, Greg is the proud owner of Noblemen’s Cut & Shave, a thriving barbershop in Fort Lauderdale, and the founder of The Backpack Barber Foundation, which uplifts the homeless community through free haircuts and essential supplies—a cause deeply personal to Greg because he has lived those struggles himself.
With years of experience behind the chair, Greg dreamed of creating a men’s grooming line that would meet the needs of modern men while giving back to the community. He worked tirelessly with a skilled chemist and manufacturer, refining every formula through feedback from his barbers and customers. The result is Noble by Greg Young—a line of high-quality products designed to deliver exceptional results and crafted with precision and care.
Noble by Greg Young is more than a grooming line; it’s a movement rooted in respect, dignity, and human connection. Every purchase helps fund The Backpack Barber Foundation, extending Greg’s mission to bring hope and dignity to those in need. Experience the difference—crafted by a Master Barber, perfected by real-world feedback, and inspired by the power of transformation.
Greg’s Journey
Greg’s life is a story of overcoming adversity. Born into a turbulent environment, he faced challenges early on that many might never recover from. With no clear blueprint for life, he struggled through a difficult childhood and fell into the grip of addiction as a young man. This led to periods of homelessness and incarceration, leaving him feeling hopeless and lost. But everything changed on July 7, 2013, when Greg made the courageous decision to walk into an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. That day marked the beginning of a transformative journey—one of recovery, self-discovery, and a relentless drive to build a better future.
Through hard work, dedication, and an unshakable commitment to sobriety, Greg began to rebuild his life. Barbering became more than just a trade—it became his lifeline. Behind the chair, he found his purpose: connecting with people, listening to their stories, and helping them feel their best. Barbering didn’t just change Greg’s life; it gave him the platform to impact others.
