When I was 15 years old I started cutting my friends’ and family’s hair in my kitchen as a hobby. I taught myself the basic techniques of barbering and then I realized that I wanted to be a barber. I enrolled myself into Sheffield College and gained NVQ level 2 in barbering. After qualifying I worked in many barbershops, gaining experience and a variety of skills and techniques. I also owned my own business working by myself, and I soon realized I much preferred working within a team. In 2012, I started at Taylor Taylor barbers where I completed my NVQ level 3 in barbering. Since then I have done numerous American Crew training courses including Method 1, which enabled me to broaden my skills even further. I am now the training coordinator for Taylor Taylor, teaching all staff members; from beginners to advanced level training.
