Stephen Jones
Level 2 Award in Cutting Men’s Hair
I was a plumber and wanted a career change. My friend who runs a barber’s inspired me to join the part-time Cutting Men’s Hair course at Shrewsbury Colleges Group. The teachers and facilities were great and learning in the evening meant I could carry on with my day job. Four months after completing the course I had opened The Fade Inn, my own Barber’s in Shrewsbury.

Level 2 Award in Cutting Men’s Hair
I would recommend anyone wanting to get into barbering to jump on this course. The tutor is patient, helpful, and informative yet also makes the course fun and relaxed.
During my time on this course, I even had the opportunity to attend a huge hair and barbering event in London and gain work experience with James at ‘Unknown Barbershop’ who has also taught me so much.
