  1. Tips to Be a Great Barber

  2. In this uncertain financial climate barbering offers a superb, stable and highly enjoyable career. Attracting people from all walks of life, hundreds of men and women of all ages successfully enter into this growing industry every year, initially starting as a beginner and then developing their own career with its limitless possibilities as their skill develops.

  3. One of the main attractions of this exciting career option is that barbering is essentially a very secure and thriving industry no matter what the financial climate may be. Men always need haircuts and you can work securely all year round in whatever global destination you may wish as the skill of professional barbering is found worldwide. That being the beauty of barbering such skills are in demand globally and indeed many people go travelling abroad and use the skills to fund their travels, or if choosing to stay closer to home they often set up their own barber shop locally.

  4. No matter what path you may wish to take upon graduation, if you are looking for a professional fast track course into the industry there are a few key points a new beginning student must bear in mind:

  5. 1. The academy: studying in a professional education environment, free from the hustle and bustle of a mass of clients and noise and chatter of a working busy barber shop is highly important. The rise in 'working barber shop' courses unfortunately provides new learning students with a potentially nosier and more distracting environment, which can possibly prove a more nerve wracking experience for complete beginners, not ideally the best conditions for an area of study that requires intense focus and concentration.

  6. 2. The student to teacher ratio: maximum time with your class tutor is recommended as beginner. Depending upon the calibre of your tutor the class ratio may vary, more experienced tutors can professionally teach slightly larger classes, however an ideal ratio for a beginners class is anywhere between 6 - 8 students per class, so that each student manages to achieve plenty of one on one tutoring and mentoring within the group to maximise their skills learnt.

  7. 3. The course diploma: the key thing is that your course should provide a diploma in order to have a certification of your professional skills gained. Although there is no one set legal diploma all barbers must hold in the UK, you must legally hold full insurance cover in order to be able to work upon members of the public safely, therefore ensure your course is fully insurable prior to enrolment. Without insurance you cannot legally work safely upon the public, therefore this point, along with chosing a course that teaches you all the key skills required to work as a barber day to day, are vital

  8. 4. The curriculum taught: the role of a barber is a varied and challenging one, and you will be required to know a variety of key skills in order to work professionally and safely. Should you wish to venture into running your own business one day it is always good to ensure your course contains a wide range of key skills to enable you to work successfully within the trade either as an employee or as an employer. Course curriculums vary and many focus solely upon the traditional clipper and scissor over comb work, however in a modern day mens barbering trade, these skills are not alone enough to be able to deal with every client that walks through the door.

  9. Clipper and scissor over comb techniques are ideal for traditionally short / shorter mens styles, however in a more fashion focused modern day contemporary barbering environment, men are increasing becoming more style conscious and becoming inspired by their favourite celebrity, film star, musician or footballer. Slightly longer lengths are becoming more common within the hair and such styles are easy to envisage if you think of your favourite male movie star, musician, tv actor or footballer, many of those styles could not be created solely with clipper and scissor over comb techniques.
