why this course & not others?

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.

what kit do i need?

We run a special offer at the start of the course for students to purchase a kit.

If not we will provide a list of tools needed for each student.

why aren’t the courses cheap or free?

Our course is 12 weeks. This is the longest course in Wales with others advertising you’ll be shop ready within 8/9 weeks - this is not possible.

From our experience, we have witnessed many students participating in these 8/9 weeks courses or college courses and not receiving adequate training. They then have to re-invest in another course to get up to speed.

This is a career change, not a course for your hobby, if you invest wisely from the start, you won’t need to buy twice.

Can I use a payment plan?

Of course. We offer 0% interest payment plans across the duration of the course. If you wish to use a payment plan, let us know when you apply.
