Your Journey starts here...

The barbering industry is continuing to grow, with more and more barbershops popping up and it is an exciting trade to be involved in! If you love your job, you’ll never have to work another day in your life. We know that many barbers would agree with this statement and be able to list many reasons why they love their job and how it does not feel like work. Choosing a barbering course presents many opportunities to build a career with perks and rewards that you may not have even considered.

Few trades offer as many opportunities to open your own successful business. There is a range of options in how you can be your own boss with a barber career. Some people opt to rent a chair in a salon and build up their client base, choose to work as a mobile barber or open up their own barbershop, where they can really bring in their passions and personality into their barbershop. Plus, you play a big part in making people look their best. You have the power and skills to give confidence to men by giving them a haircut that suits them and makes them feel great.

There is no lifespan of a barber, once you work hard and continue to master your craft, you can work as long you want. Regardless of the economic situation, men will always need to get their hair cut, so there will always be a need for barbers. With the rise of social media and focus in the media on male grooming, more and more men are willing to invest money in how they look. It’s time to study barbering!

After 17 years of experience in the industry growing my knowledge and skills, I have decided to embrace the challenge of sharing my passion and inspiring the next generation of barbers. It is important to me that my students learn not only how to pass an exam. I want them to learn a strong set of skills they will always use.
