Watch this BEFORE starting Barber School 💯

[@jackmanleblanc2518]

For me school was a lot of "you don't get it? Why don't you get it? This is easy, you should get it!" attitude from my instructors. I was definitely one of the few students there who had no background experience ever cutting hair in my life. It was just a possible career path that interested me and would make me more than working 40 hours a week as a barista at Starbucks would. I ended up learning most of what I know through observing others, trial and error, and, yes, youtube. Your channel has been a valuable resource for me throughout this journey Sean. I'm one month into my second shop and feeling better than ever about my own skills now.

[@Seancutshair]

Unfortunately that’s how schools operate but glad to hear you’re doing well!

[@williemowry6475]

Just graduated barber school in CA at age 55. If I didn’t have KZbin tutorials I’m not sure I would’ve learned anything relative to barbering. Our school was cosmo/barber with a heavy dose of cosmo stuff and very little barbering. I survived and got my license…signing lease agreement today to open my shop 💈

[@Seancutshair]

Yeah you’ll learn it all on your own! Congrats on the shop 👊🏼

I am turning 40 still thinking I am not sure if learning the art of barbering is quite late for me. I am graphic designer sick and tired in front of the computer. I am also an amateur tattoo artist.

I averaged 40 hair cuts per week in barber school. When looking at schools, find out how heavy the client traffic is. High clientele is probably the most important thing while in school. Barber students learn best when doing alot of cuts. The more the better. I attended Moler Barber College in Fargo ND.

Man he talks about looking back and hating old photos while you're learning, but man some of those really give that satisfaction when you cut that same client again a couple weeks/months down the line and show you just how much you've improved since in those early stages your skills are normally going up at a crazy rate compared to where a lot of us are at now where we may get slightly cleaner or learn a new method, but our cuts are at a certain standard that we expect from ourselves.
