Hi all,

Looking to change careers into barbering after putting it off for years... any advice on where to train or whether its easy self teaching myself etc?

Or even if its viable.

A reliable person to ask goes by the name of S.Todd .
I've never used him myself,but I believe he is a bit of a demon with scissors and a cut throat razor

Do what my son did.
He had a few jobs, HMV, he laid patios driveways etc, he installed Smart meters but he'd always fancied being a barber.
Whilst on a small island called Tiomen, where he was a Scuba Diving Instructor, he met an aussie and fell in love. Of course he ended up in Oz with her where he needed a job.
He walked into a barbers and told them he'd trained in England as a barber and he could he work at the salon !
8 years later he's still a barber.
When I asked him how he'd blagged it he said that whilst travelling the world he set up shop. (A stool next to the beach bar) and used their electricity to cut people's hair. He learnt as he went
That's all you need or so it seems.
 
At 18, rather than Uni my youngest lad enrolled at London School of Barbering on Fountain St and did a 3 month intensive course there, leading to a career at a proper barbers (£30 ish) Currently at Helvete in Chinatown.

Loves it, trade relatively steady and works with 3 similarly minded mates, lives in Piccadilly and gets to use my season ticket when I can't make it as he only takes bookings.

It's much easier to be a self taught barber in a country where every fucker looks like this:
