TOPICS THAT DIDN’T MAKE THE TEXTBOOK …
IS WHAT I TEACH.
_
HOW I STARTED AS A BARBER
I picked up my first pair of clippers when I was 13. My brother was my first haircut. When I went to university, I was the ‘dorm barber’. I was hooked. I fell in love with the craft and knew I would get my license one day.
_
HOW I STARTED AS A CONSULTANT
Before barber school, I consulted small business owners for a booking/management software company. I specifically worked in the beauty, wellness and fitness industry.
_
HOW I STARTED AS AN EDUCATOR
During 2020, thousands of students were not able to take their barber exam because California State Board shut down the testing site. This created a major backlog of students who graduated and were waiting to take their exam.
To help keep the information fresh, I started teaching a workshop for Instructors and a separate workshop for students. After receiving positive reviews from instructors and students, I eventually created an online course and shared videos on YouTube.
