A summary

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.

Our Impact & Progression Outcomes

In 2025, 60 young people completed our barbering programme. Of those participants, 12 progressed into part-time employment within local barbershops and related businesses, while 20 went on to enrol in further barbering or vocational college courses. Our structured approach focuses not only on practical skills, but on building confidence, discipline, and clear progression pathways into education and employment within the local community.
