Hear from our past students about their experience at Barber School Wales

“As a Student I can’t reccomend this place enough, if you want to become a barber this place is definitely the place to learn. Josh, Al, and the capello barbers have been so good to all of us students and I’ve learnt a lot over the course.”

“Hands down the best training I’ve had! Learnt so much in 3 months. Josh is a great educator and highly skilled. Made me feel at ease and built my confidence. Having ADHD I was worried about how I would manage, I didn’t need to worry. Josh adapted his teaching methods to support my needs and was very patient.

Alessandro manages the barber school with professionalism and insures that everybody has the full experience whilst in training. I will miss attending the school, we all worked well as a team. Thank you all”

“Speaking as a former student at BSW - Alessandro is brilliant. Really friendly, approachable and is very respectful. This lends itself to him being a great teacher. He has a very good demeanour for it. I found myself being able to learn very quickly from him, as he's very efficient with his teaching style and also accomodates to your speed of learning. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with this course - The effectiveness of the teaching style/methods and the friendly environment really made for an awesome experience.

I am very grateful for my time there. I met a lot of awesome people along the way. Shout out to Josh, one of the other educators there. One of the most encouraging people I've met. Extremely supportive, and like Alessandro, a great teacher. If you're thinking about learning the skills of Barbering and getting yourself a good quality qualification, go for Barbering School of Wales.”

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 12 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.

As for the course, you are taught by some of the best in the industry, there isn't any hairstyle/hair type that they can't cut. As well as teaching the fundamentals, they also show how you apply this to each individual and the intricacies of different hair types (afro, straight, wavy).

During the course you spend 11 of the 12 weeks hands on, cutting clients hair every single day and at the end of each week, you receive feedback on what your strengths are and how to improve your weaknesses.

Rhys, Ben and Alessandro are great lecturers! They are so supportive, knowledgable and are a great laugh.

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

Job Role: Barber

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 11 of the 12 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!!!!
