We are looking for exceptional barbering apprentices.
You will train one day a week at our state of the art Training Academy & Salon in Chiswick where you will experience the highest quality technical training in a brand new salon environment.
The job role within the salon will be as a trainee barber and you will be expected to:
- Meet and greet customers
- Shampoo and condition customers’ hair
- Maintain a clean salon
- Provide refreshments to the customers
As you develop skills you may be given the opportunity to cut hair.
Your training will require you to demonstrate your competence in shampooing and conditioning and cutting hair. Your skills and competence will be assessed on paying customers, either in our training salon in Chiswick or in your workplace.
Requirements and prospects
Desired skills
- Barbering is a fast moving, fashion orientated business, so you will need to be creative, enjoy meeting people and have loads of energy
- You don’t have to be the academic type and there are no set entry requirements
Personal qualities
You would also need to:
- Be well presented in all aspects including: clothing, hair and personal hygiene
- Be practical and well organised
- Be a good communicator with excellent social skills
- Have attention to detail and cleanliness

Future prospects
Many apprentices are given jobs with the employers they trained with as a barbering stylist, others go onto further studies. Apprentices are often fast-tracked by their employers for promotion to more senior positions.

The apprenticeship programme will take 15-18 months to complete. During this time you will be expected to attend the academy one day a week and three to four days a week in the salon - you earn while you earn.
