What makes a good barber?
Hair and grooming knowledge
A good barber will have years of experience and training in the latest trends and products to deliver the best advice to each client. Over time many thousands of heads have sat in the chair with different hair textures and scalp issues as well as facial hair needs and request for new designs.
Communication
As we grow globally, we need to be able to understand each other not only by language difference but also to grasp what is the client desire and need to provide a consultation to determine exactly what the preferences are and what is not liked at all.
Active listening
Having clear communication by voice is one criteria, but active listening has to be a major part of the consultation as well. The client can suggest many ideas and it is the job of the barber to hear just what the want is and then agree if this is possible with the hair type and condition. Never say yes if you cannot deliver because this upsets clients so much that they will not return.
Interpersonal skills
Good barbers service up to ten clients a day and more sometimes, so being able to relate to all characters and personalities is a plus point! Clients expect friendly, helpful, understanding barbers who will make a difference to their day!
Creativity
Some barbers are more creative than others and this is a bonus if the client is aware that they will have a finish that gets noticed, so make sure your client is a statement maker before you begin!
Time management
Male salons are usually operated as a walk-in appointment service, but post-covid has increased the number of online booking options to be the preferred choice as it allows the barber adequate time to deliver the best cut and shave without feeling rushed by waiting clients.
Customer service
Each client will spend a minimum of 30 minutes in the chair, and he will judge his experience not only from the haircut but how he feels after spending time with his barber. The experience has to deliver the best customer service throughout the appointment with the aim of keeping clothes hair free and making sure the client is relaxed with a refreshment or massage.
