Introduction to Barbering Course block mentored by .CLAY Studios Barbering College
What we'll do
Participants will take part in a structured five-day introduction to barbering designed for complete beginners. Throughout the programme they will learn essential health and safety practices, workshop etiquette, professional behaviour, sectioning techniques, and safe tool handling. Learners will develop confidence using clippers and scissors while working progressively towards completing a two-grade haircut (grade 3 on the sides and grade 6 on top) with a controlled blend. Sessions are practical, supervised, and focused on building discipline, technical foundations, and awareness of future pathways into further training or apprenticeships.

Cancellation Policy
Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
