      There’s no criteria to be a barber. As long as you can cut hair no ones gonna judge you on the way you look. Of course some people would want certain people to cut their hair cause it makes them feel more comfortable. For example, I get a lot of asian clients cause some of them say when they go to other barbers they “don’t know how to cut asian hair so I have to go to an asian guy”, things like that. That’s why in the barbershop I learned that it’s important to appreciate the clients that would come back! In the end, as long as you can cut hair no one’s gonna question you. Work hard, be kind and you’ll build a great clientele! Hope this helps 🙏🏽

      Im sure there are some online courses somewhere. I think Chris bossion one of the top barbers in the industry, in my opinion, has some with his brand tomb 45. Also babyliss most likely has some also!

      Hey bro sorry i just saw this comment now. Depends on the shop some shops want you to wear clothes that go with the theme of the barbershop, i try to wear black shoes i have all black slip on vans and the classic black and white vans i swear to work the most.

    • @lyfe_of_drew8601
      @lyfe_of_drew8601  Před 3 lety

      Hmmm honestly can’t really think of any bad that really came out of barber school cause iv been out for a while now. Although, just like any school it wasn’t perfect so I just tried to see the best out of what the school had to offer! But if you asked me right after i graduated I’m sure I’d be able to list a couple things ahaha

    hey bro, would you recommend barberschool to someone whos got 0 experience in the field? or should i keep practicing in the garage until i get the hang on fading

    • @lyfe_of_drew8601
      @lyfe_of_drew8601  Před 3 lety +2

      Honestly it really just depends on how you like to learn. Me being a hands on learner I needed a way where I could get a lot of reps but also have someone near me helping me and guideing me on what todo, so barberschool seemed perfect. But if your already getting clientele in your garage and your ok with watching tutorials on youtube that way is fine too! I would always recommend going to school for whatever it is you wanna do because its an investment in yourself.

      No but I was on apprentice price for a short amount of time. My bosses realized I was good enough to be on the regular prices right out of barber school.

      Barbering is one of those careers where you can make as much or as little as you want. The grind to collect a huge clientele is difficult and long but the journey to get there is very satisfying. It's also one of those skills where it never leaves you and you'll always have it. What I found is that you really have to love this job to be in it for the long run. Working with the public can be hard at times but it can also be very exciting! Hope this helps!
