Can't find a job that suits you?

We get it, the job market is competative, food needs to be on the table and the lights need to be kept on, so you end up doing a job you don't like to get the money coming in.

Sadly, this is the story for many people.

Doing a job you don't like can suck the life out of you, throwing any creativity out the window. You find yourself working for the weekend and praying for the end of the day to get out of there.

That being said

Barbering is different

We have been in the barbering industry for 25 years, with 10 years experience teaching students the art of barbering.

We love seeing people grow with the freedom and flexiability a barbering career offers them.

Barbering doesn't judge, it's open to everyone and can provide opportunities to create a life you don't need a holiday from.

It's not just cutting hair we teach

Barbering is more than just cutting hair.

We teach our students the fundamentals of building a career in barbering.

That involves providing a great experience for your clients, promoting your work and deciding on your career path.

Barbering is flexible

Robots don't cut hair - yet.
Meaning barbering skills can be used wherever you want to be around the world.

It's social

You meet new people all day and every day is a new day.
Which we believe is much better than staring at a computer.

It's creative

Each head of hair is different and each customer wants something unique.
Using your skills to put smiles on faces never gets old.

It can be what you want

Do you want your own shop?
Become a master barber?
Anything is possible once you have the skills to achieve it.
Your earnings and lifestyle are yours to craft.
