I’ve contemplated barber school for 2 years. I just enrolled in school. Being a father and 32 years old and having to work full time. I didn’t think it would be possible. Just have to find the right time to make it work. Adjust your schedule and just do it. You’ll be happy you did!
Same here I've thought about it for about 2 years. 34. Have a CDL and a Pharmacy Tech license but I've always felt that pull to get into Barbering. Having a family I know this is what I need to do.
Sitting here at my job watching this on my break. Been contemplating getting into barber school. I’ve never cut the first hair but I’m so sick of working this dead end job. I’ll be checking out more of your videos.
Thats why i quit my job and went to barber school full time. But i had been cutting for years already. It starts at home. Start practicing on your friends. Unfortunately my school did not teach fades. But thats ok cuz i learned on my own. Dont expect the school to teach you all the fly shit. Just the basics.
Bruh I appreciate your knowledge and advice. You really gave me the confidence to pursue barbering. I'm 45 and ready to pursue my 2nd career, very nervous but through prayer anything is possible. Thanks again
I'm 45 too and decided during the plandemic that it was time for me to get another trade.I went to a school yesterdayto get information and I'm going to another today. I'll make my decision over the weekend and start one Tuesday!
I’ve been cutting hair , my goal was to go right away . But I spent a good amount on the tools . Been putting them to use and seen improvement even use the razor . Saving a lot of money starting in the next two months on my 19th birthday can’t wait your a big inspiration .
I turn 32 next month and I’m seriously considering going to barber school and focus on perfecting the craft of barbering. Dead end jobs, working in a warehouse is not it for me. Always had interest in cutting hair but never took advantage of it. I think I’m finally ready.
I’m starting school soon. And been researching barber school lately and how sanitary stations are and even thinking of how clean I’ll be. That said, I now realize that half these barbers around my area are half @ssing and not being clean. I see local bars with one brush without cleaning, combs falling and no barbercide use after, neck dusters are the same one from last year. It’s actually disgusting. These barbers are moving at such a fast pace with clients that they just don’t think about sanitation and just on to the next client for the $$. Thank you for the knowledge
Everything you said is on point. It's my 3rd month in at my school and my life has literally changed from the first the time I first showed up for class. Only regret I have is I wish I could've started fresh out of high school lol I'm in my 30s now but will forever be a student of this beautiful field.
@@joythewriter5023 It was great man all I would say is if you choose this path pay attention and don't be afraid to make mistakes. Your mistakes are valuable because you learn from them and trust me I made a lot 💯 but other than that I love it. It's nothing like being your own boss 💯💯
Thank you so much. You should be an instructor! I’m 59 and retired from being a certified sterilization technician for a surgery center and then a hospital. On top of being retired, we just moved and I don’t know anyone here. I’m going out of my mind. I can’t imagine people that don’t want to work. I miss it. I think I’ll try to purchase the book first and do my best to learn as much as I can on my own then apply to barber school. It’s an occupation that will allow you to work wherever you move to.
Thomas I can tell you take pride in your work ... I start barber school next month I can’t wait to send you some of my work and I learned a lot from watching your videos
if you only knew, how many people, coming out of college, took a trade course and say the same thing " it was the best thing, i could have ever done, learning a trade " and, i feel like its cuz, your working for someone, but at the same time, for yourself.
I'm working full time. Been cutting hair for 5 years now and signed up for free classes at Cuny. Passed the TABE test and now waiting for them to give me an orientation date. Have 2 trimmers and clippers but no shaver and there wireless. Just trying to adjust my schedule, might have to leave my job but I'll find a part time job because I'm a 33yr old father. Still have to provide.
I have been contemplating barbering for a long time but I’m about to take a step towards this journey. Im a vet so it will be paid for I can’t wait to start
I’m glad I saw this I’ve been looking Into barber school after seeing this I’m definitely doing it I’m nervous about it but excited at the same time tired of working dead end jobs time for a change
Man thank you for this video. I'm growing in my passion for barbering. Planning to start school in November. I'll stay on these videos as well. Thanks!!
I’ve been cutting me and my son hair since 2020 march. I love and had gotten so much better with fading and lining. I own my own 18 wheeler and has two more owner operating under my authority. I like the art of cutting hair. It’s about the money right now. I just wanna be a cold ass barber.
I cut hair for the first time when i was 12, & no cocky shit im official at it 🔥 im 20 now & start barber school next month hopefully im outhere workin for another person makin him richer when i could be my own boss 🙏🏻
Alot of Information and I love that you put everything out there I’m starting barber school pretty soon but I been cutting for 10 years and just going in with the mindset that I’m humbled and ready to learn and grow and that’s all that matters thank for this video
One of my closest friends has inspired me to be better and start this career but I don’t want to start without knowledge at least or some implements. Thank you fue the tips brother
Do I really need to go to a barber school? To get better to cut my own hair? Because I don’t want to be a barber but I want to be nice at this craft. This can be another hobby
Hey my name is Akbar I'm a barber in the state of Texas I wish that I would have known this things that you speak of before Barbara college thank you for giving the information to others
Been "bootlegging" off & on since 90s, want to get proper education & open shop. Even if it's a side job since I'm a Truck Driver & not looking to leave this profession.
@@brandencalloway5499I've been in the game 26 yrs. It really wasn't hard for me because it was my passion, I felt a natural affinity for it & still enjoy it for the most part, but traffic situations make me wonder why I still do it. 😂 💵 is good. I never really considered Barbering as a career, it was a hobby for me but I want to be a PROFESSIONAL BARBER, maybe run a mobile service to Truck stops for 🚛 on the road.
Oh nice, 26 yrs is a long time and hell of a commitment. I was considering becoming a trucker too, mainly for money. Honestly dont have a passion for it. I would like to do the mobile barber thing myself though. Think I'd like that.
@@brandencalloway5499 Well, it hasn't been with one company. Actually combination of long-distance driving (gone 3-4 wks) & in-state driving (home every night). Just wanted to see the country, next best thing to being own boss & it took on a life of its own. I love to drive....very important!!
I think it’s crazy that barber school in Florida costs about 7,000 to 10,000. When I moved to North Carolina the barber school was A1 and only costs 1,500. Most barber schools in North Carolina are only 1,500 to 3,000 😲
Is barber school difficult for those who have never cut hair before? I’m starting barber school in January and trying to gather as much info as possible by then
Hey so I’ve been looking to make the jump into barber school for quite some time now, I’ve been looking at barber schools & beauty schools. I can’t seem to figure out what’s the best in my area. Any help would be madly appreciated.
In my opinion it is just a matter of what all you want to do. If you want to do just barbering then barber school but if you want to get into coloring, any esthetics or styling then beauty school.
my barber school is free , since im in highschcool. I take my normal classes then I drive over to the barber school, barber license fresh outta high school
Dang man, your channel has been inspiring. This is the best video I've been able to find of someone detailing their barber school experience. One question I would like to ask is what are the assignments like before you take to the floor, is just reading and writing? Any essays or anything like that involved?
Bro im 41 and been always wanting to be a barber since ive been 18 im a white dude from the inner city and have always been to black barbers my entire life, my barber 💈 now is always telling me to just get the job done and go to school, im currently making $21hr with a career but i dont want to work for somebody for the rest of my life, but i also dont want to spend 8k and do school for 9 months full time and not come out making my money, i know i have to build clients and then get my own shop amd business, but do you feel with my age its still beneficial?? Thank you and god bless you bro
Hello people, i have question i hope you guys can help me with it. Do you need to finish college to be a barber or you can just go to any academy to be a barber? Thank you.
Im 42 and im thinking about going to school. This is something i always had a passion for. I cut her now on the side and im being told im good but im ok. Do you think its too late for me at 42?
(7:12) What's the name of the title and author of the textbook you used? And what is the best textbook(s) available for barbering and passing the licensing exams?
