REVIEWS

  • “I studied here to gain my Level 2 barbering qualification and it was one of the best decisions I have made. At the beginning of 2022 I started this course with no background or knowledge in barbering and 9 weeks later left with the skills, knowledge and confidence to be a barber - I currently work at a shop in Swansea where I am continuing my journey as a barber.”

  • DescriptioHighly recommend this course if you’re looking to become a Barber.

    The teaching is excellent, you move onto real clients within the first couple of weeks so the experience you gain is far more valuable, and there are real world job opportunities offered to you if you work hard and dedicate yourself to the course.

    Like anything, it’s what you put into it as an individual, but if you’re willing to work hard and are passionate about barbering, this is 100% the course for you.

    I also travelled from Bristol for the course which was totally manageable once I figured out the train schedules so don’t let that put you off. Most people on our course travelled at least an hour to get there.

    Thank you so much Alle and Ben, this course has changed my life in an awesome way!n text goes here

  • As a recently graduated student successfully gaining my NVQ Level 2 barbering, studying here was one of the best decisions I have made. I already had some knowledge of cutting hair and practice on family members which got me thinking, 'I could do this for a living'. However, being in that undecided state of mind about could it be a career or is it just my hobby, Alessandro offered me to come down for a taster day. This involved talking about the what the course entails, history of barbering, a demo and getting you involved in your first cut. Coming away from that day, I knew instantly this is what I wanted to do. I had a dream, I chased it and now I am living the life that makes me happy

    During the course, you spend 8 of the 9 weeks hands on, cutting 4-5 clients hair every single day.

    Alessandro and Ben are amazing educators, they are so supportive, knowledgeable and very clear with explaining the processes if your unsure.

    Overall, it was the best experience and if you are thinking about studying here, you won't regret it!!!!

  • As a recently passed student, I have to give the highest of praise to the course! The level of knowledge both Ben and Al were able to provide is top quality and I learned a lot about barbering from them. The course facilities are ideal for learning the craft quickly through live customer haircuts almost from the get go and really provides that feeling of being in a working barbershop unlike many other courses. Would highly recommend the course for anyone looking to get into barbering!

  • I just finished my 11 weeks nvq level 2 course, and i want to say that this guys are the best. I started with 0 knowledge and after 11 weeks I’m confident with any men’s haircut.

    The trainers have a lot of passion and they make you feel like you are in a family.

    We had a lot of laughs and fun.

    If you want to become a proper barber I really recommend these guys.

Answers to your questions

  • Barber School Wales is the leader in Barbering Education renowned for its adaptable approach to training in the industry. Alessandro’s brand has positioned itself at the forefront of the Welsh barbering scene over the last 7 years. This beginners course for barbers will reflect this from start to finish.

    Alessandro received poor training at an established Academy, and it wasn’t until he trained under his Father where he realised aspiring barbers aren’t being given the adequate training they need to work as barbers.

    After many years working in the industry, building his brand, he created Barber School Wales in order to improve the Industry standard not only in Wales, but in the UK.
