During my time working as a Barber, I have gained and developed several highly transferrable skills.

These skills include :

  • A high level of attention and care is taken with every service I provide, ensuring the client has a great experience every time they get a haircut.
  • Working in a structured, appointment based barbershop, I developed excellent time management skills, learning to work to schedule whilst never sacrificing quality when working on even the busiest of days.
  • Developed excellent interpersonal skills. I have become accustomed to working with people from all different walks of life on a daily basis. This is an aspect of work I especially enjoy as I take great satisfaction in seeing new and old faces alike on a daily basis and developing social but professional relationships with those people.
  • Took care of inventory, ensuring the shop was well stocked in hair products, sanitation and tool care equipment, as well as personal protective equipment.
  • Resolved customers concerns with knowledgeable and professional approach.
  • Handled incoming phone calls and scheduled appointments.
  • Maintained cleanliness of the barbershop, including sterilizing tools and sanitizing work areas.
