Barbers Net platform is devoted to giving our vibrant barbering industry a startup.There’s a massive skills shortage in barbering and a rising concern from professional barbers about the quality of skills found in job applicants. The rise and rise of intensive courses that aren’t underpinned by a recognized qualification has not helped. Quality takes time. It gives your shop a clear succession plan for growth and it also builds loyalty. Loyalty from customers to their barber, loyalty from barbers to the employer and loyalty within the team. Demonstrating that you are investing your time and energy in your shops future also helps showcase your professionalism. I think there is a huge perception that apprenticeships are very difficult and expensive for the employer but actually there is a clear, structured path and masses of support both in terms of training and financially.
