I’m currently 25 years old man I remember I wanted to become a barber straight after high school I live in California by the way. Unfortunately I ended pushing the idea away but I been stuck working the same boring job my whole life I’m ready for a change & I’m ready to give barbering another shot. I plan on going to barber school in 2022 thanks for the advice bro really gives me the confidence to chase my dreams.

Always been good at fading and cutting my own hair . I get a lot of compliments and I am happy to say I did it . I’m not amazing obviously, but I genuinely believe I would love to be a barber . Starting my journey with this KZbin channel !!

[@KVIIINSIIITOO]

I wouldn’t say that I always wanted to be a barber but when I was young around the age of 16 or 17 i used to watch haircut tutorials . It made me happy seeing people getting a haircut, i always tell myself wow I wish I could do that but I’m an insecure person so I never looked at it as a career for me. Off the bat I doubt myself thinking I’m not up for it. I am now 25 years old and currently unemployed. Brother the time is now I think I’m going to dip my toes into the water. 🙏

Advice for females wanting to be barbers? I’m an esthetician who realized after I got licensed that I want to do hair, but not the cosmetology route since it has a huge focus on coloring. Mens haircuts interest me bc of the amount of detail that comes with it.

[@Enoc63]

I'm a beginner so i can't say much tips but i say the same process should work for a female too. Reps, learning to do as many different fades and hairstyles from youtube tutorials, learn the equipment you'd need as far as clippers, clipper guards, trimmers, shears, shavers, razors, neck strips, cape, neck dusters and learning sanitation. Then you get your barber license and be a beast in the barbershop 😤

[@ginodominic]

I have had a few successful female barbers at my shop. At the end of the day were all cutting hair! If I were you, id start giving free haircuts to practice and show the men in your network that you are committed to barbering. My advice for females wanting to barber is the same as males wanting to barber. Dont let anything hold you back from achieving your highly attainable goals, you got this!

[@carlab5421]

Gino, well done on this video. You are wise before your years. I have been a barber for 55 years, you have hit the nail on the head. The haircut is only half of what people want, Always remember that the other person (the customer) is 10,000 times more interested in their wife, dog, car, etc than yours, if you go with that... you will be succsessfull.

[@ginodominic]

My tip to you is to be authentic! Be yourself and don't feel the need to compare to other great barbers and fashion icons. You have a natural instinct for it. Ask yourself "why" you like it so much, why are you good at it? What makes you unique and output that in your work!

Owning a barbershop comes with much more work than you think. Mess around with haircuts to see if you like it. Low risk for a potentially high reward in the future.

Don’t understand why I’m top of the $30 i pay for a haircut I’m expected to tip. Barbers should just charge what they want and call it a day. Tipping is confusing and leads to resentment.

[@ginodominic]

Tipping is never mandatory, but always appreciated in my opinion. On both ends, client or barber, the opinion on tips is very much personal.

[@hans.thebarber]

I would add that you will be on your feet a lot and to invest in shoes.

[@calvinraldajo8565]

is it flexible schdule. i hear on one vid says this career is and other says no

[@ginodominic]

It depends on the situation you're in, some people work from home and others work for a barbershop. Being self employed comes with risks and challenges but also reward! The best part is that you can customize it if you are willing to sacrifice and put the time in. It is not at all an over night success career, I find it takes at least 2 years to build a solid clientele on average

[@DcraftGamingLOL23721]

i have about 1 year learning barber but i still cant make a haircut should i quit?

Never quit. If you are passionate about what you are doing and you truly want to become a barber, then do it. Don't get discouraged by this, if you practice enought and work hard you will make it. I know you can and I believe in you. Do it so you can prove everyone that you CAN become the barber you wanted to be. If you just tried barbering for fun and you're not that passionate about it then it's a different story.
