Our Philosophy

A hog is not serviced.
A hog is understood.

In a world racing to do more hogs, faster, for less, we hold a quieter conviction.

Every hog that passes through our atelier is treated as a singular work — deserving of patience, discretion, and an almost unreasonable attention to detail. We do not scale. We do not franchise. We do not “move fast.” We move precisely. The job is worth doing right, or it is not worth doing at all.

— The founding principle of HogJob, unchanged since day one

Precision

No two hogs are alike. Each session begins with a full assessment and ends only when the work meets a standard most clients did not know existed.

Discretion

What happens in the atelier stays in the atelier. Every engagement is private, confidential, and conducted with the utmost professional composure.

Devotion

This is not a job. It is a calling. Luc has dedicated his life to the singular pursuit of the perfect hog job, and he is not finished yet.

Our Process

The HogJob Method™

Six stages. One hog. Zero deviation. Refined over two decades, and not a single shortcut has ever been taken.

Stage One

Consultation

Every engagement opens with a private consultation. We listen without judgment. We assess without rush. Detailed notes are taken on the hog and its history.

Stage Two

Assessment

Each hog undergoes our proprietary 14-point evaluation. No contour goes unmeasured. No hog is too large, and none too modest.

Stage Three

Preparation

The atelier is brought to temperature. Implements are arranged by hand. Luc enters a state of total concentration he refers to only as “the threshold.”

Stage Four

The Job

Here, two decades of mastery converge. We do not hurry. We do not narrate. The hog is jobbed — completely, and only once it is ready.

Stage Five

Finishing

The work is hand-buffed to a standard most clients did not know was attainable. A final inspection confirms nothing has been left wanting.

Stage Six

Aftercare

You depart with a bespoke aftercare dossier and a discreet 24-hour line — for you, and for the hog, should any questions arise.

Credentials Beyond Reproach

Accredited. Certified.
Frankly, overqualified.

HogJob meets and exceeds every standard the industry has — and several it had to invent in order to keep up.

The Founder

Luc

Founder · Sole Practitioner · Master Hog Technician

Luc did not choose the hog. By every account from those who know him, the hog chose Luc.

He was, by his own admission, an unremarkable young man — until the afternoon, at the age of nineteen, that he first laid hands on a hog and understood, with a clarity that frightened him, exactly what he had been put on this earth to do. He has not stopped since.

There was no master to study under; the discipline, as Luc practices it, did not yet exist. So he built it — alone, in a single rented atelier, one hog at a time. He logged his first ten thousand hours before most of his peers had logged their first ten. He sleeps four hours a night. He regards the weekend as a distraction from the work.

“If the hog is not perfect, I have not finished. There is no such thing as a small job.” Luc, in his only recorded interview

Today, Luc is regarded — quietly, reverently, and almost exclusively in hushed tones — as the foremost living authority on the hog. He has declined acquisition offers, franchise proposals, and at least one reality program. He remains, by deliberate and unwavering choice, a practice of exactly one.

Client Testimonials

The hogs have spoken.

A 4.97 average across 2,300+ verified engagements. Every word unsolicited.

★★★★★
“I have had my hog seen to all over the world. None of it — none of it — prepared me for Luc. I wept. My hog has never looked back.”
Cody Haxby
Hog owner since 2017
★★★★★
“I arrived a skeptic. I left a devotee, a client for life, and — frankly — a slightly improved man. The attention to detail borders on the spiritual.”
Grant Kaiser
Private collector
★★★★★
“Twenty minutes in, I realised every hog job I’d had before was a rough imitation. This was the real thing. Unhurried, exact, and worth every penny.”
Rocco Haro
Connoisseur tier
★★★★★
“Discreet, meticulous, and remarkably composed with a hog of considerable size. My wife noticed the difference immediately.”
Ethan-John Rasmussen
Returning client

“I booked the Standard tier. After one session I upgraded to Concierge and have never reconsidered. You simply do not go back.”

Frequently Asked

Questions, answered plainly.

For the curious, the cautious, and the simply unsure.

If you find yourself needing to ask, the time is simply not yet right. When it is, you will know — and we will be here, exactly as we always have been.
There is no hog too large. There is only insufficient time set aside — and we always set aside enough.
Never an obstacle. Every hog is worthy of the complete process. Luc has built his entire life’s work upon precisely this conviction.
We do not, and we never will. The single-hog principle is the bedrock of everything we do. To divide our attention would be to dishonour the hog.
Exactly as long as the hog requires — not a moment more, and never a moment less. We have never once watched the clock. We watch the hog.
Many clients choose to be. Others prefer to step away. There is no wrong answer; Luc remains entirely composed either way.
It is the most natural thing in the world. Within minutes you will struggle to recall how you ever managed before.
For the right hog, Luc will travel anywhere. He has jobbed hogs across five continents and one private island, and would happily make it six.
In the entire history of HogJob, this has not occurred. Should it ever, we will make it right — at no charge, for as long as it takes.
We are deeply flattered, and the answer is no. There is one Luc. There will only ever be one Luc.

Your hog is waiting.
