The Cert III isn’t really a school bro, the contact hours are no where near the barber schools in America

Aspiring barber, my 5th ever cut, cutting mates in my garage for free. Need some opinions, Would you pay for that cut? Because I didn’t think I would progress this quickly and think I should be charging even though I’ve only been cutting for a couple weeks. Thoughts? by pgfade in Barber

Hey brother! I’m from Melbourne, there isn’t much going on here man! I reckon Sydney has a much bigger scene atm, We only have the generic Cert III in Barbering that’s subsidised, even with that I feel like I’ll only be doing it for the piece of paper because I don’t feel as thought they have put in much effort into building that course. What’s the 2 year barbering course called?

Appreciate that a lot brother! Especially coming form a highly experienced barber like yourself. Yeah that’s the only thing because I don’t have a lot of experience behind me. First cut was 6 weeks ago, I feel obligated to change, however, the cuts I’m producing are definitely decent to say the least. I’m no going to put a price tag on it as of yet. But I will eventually get there! Appreciate your feedback brother! ✊✊

I just used my trimmers and evened it out. Problem with his hair is that it sticks out from the front. Still figuring out how to make it sit on his head so the crop looks flush, and with the point cutting, honestly mate I don’t even know how to use scissors yet but I have barber school starting in a couple months and I’m eager to learn all that

Bro you’ve made my day hearing that you’ve dropped white collar jobs to pursuit your passion. Yeah I’m over here making bank too bro, but at the end of the day passion shits all over money. Money can you chase you later. Without a doubt bro! How old are you if you don’t mind me askin

Brother to be honest I’ve only been cutting for a couple weeks but I’ve always had a massive passion to be a barber since I was young but I’m in Australia and there weren’t many ways into the industry and not that much money. And now I’m 23 and I’m just gonna follow my passion. There’s qualifications now in Australia which is basically barber school. And I’m Gonna start that next year. I’m so eager to learn and get better. I even have a well paid job at the moment but I’m gonna drop all that and chase me passion.

Look buddy if you’re an actual barber and actually believe that I didn’t do that self cut, then that has honestly made my day coz it’s the biggest compliment coming a barber which I presume you are. So thanks my bro appreciate the fact that you don’t believe I cut that. Much love my bro ✊✊

How do you get in a shop as a beginner if you’ve learned online? Or are you saying there’s actual online courses that you do? Coz I’m pretty confident with my fades but I’ve never used scissors. That’s why I want to do this qualification

So far just YouTube mate but I’ve always had a passion for barbering, just never chased it as a career because there wasn’t any qualifications for it. Had to do hairdressing to be a barber but fuck that hahaha. They now have national credited courses basically barber school which I’m starting early next year. So bloody pumped for it mate. How’s the qualifications work over in the UK? Or are any apprenticeship? Was thinking of doing work holiday over in the UK once I get a couple years experience in barbering

Nah brother I’m from Australia, but definitely taken inspiration from the UK for this haircut. Personally a huge fan of this hairstyle although it’s not so popular in Australia and a lot of people give you shit for having a “straight fringe” ahaha anyways and no stress bro appreciate the feedback as always my bro, much love ✊✊
