A good haircut sells itself. Walk into a busy UK barbershop on Saturday and you'll see queues out the door. A barber course teaches you to be that one trusted chair. Barbering is the craft of cutting men's hair and shaping beards with clippers, scissors and razors. UK barbering brings in over £1.5 billion a year, with shops opening faster than salons.
What does the course cover? It walks through hair types, scissor work, clipper techniques, fades and wet shaves. Lessons are clear and simple, so you can follow along even if English is your second language. After finishing, you can work in barbershops, hotels, mobile bookings or rent your own chair.
