Please be aware that when working as a barbering apprentice, part of your daily jobs will be to clean and tidy the salon.

There will be some long periods of being active.

Applicants also need to ensure that they are willing to work Saturdays and at least one late evening before applying for the position as this is a requirement when working in the barbering industry.
