Hmmmmmmmmm, i consider the barber job as a very underrated one.

What awaits you at a barber job: advantages, disadvantages, less

known details
Whatever job you choose, it comes with a number of advantages and
disadvantages that you only get to know after gaining a little experience
in the field. This rule also applies to the profession of barber, and in this
article we present its advantages and disadvantages, in order to make
an assumed decision when you are going to hire.
If you are a sociable person and you like to take care of the appearance of the people who cross the
threshold of the salon, you will definitely go to work with pleasure, and this is a very important
component in choosing the profession.

Noe: Do you know some advantages?

Interaction with different typologies and personalities - you will always have the opportunity to meet
new people.

Flexible schedule - a barber is employed in a salon, and in this case can work 8-hour shifts, or can work
as a freelancer, only when scheduled.

Access to a variety of services - when you have a job in the beauty industry you have access to a variety
of services: manicure, cosmetics, hairdressing and anytime you can learn something extra from your
colleagues, in case you want to make the transition to a another job, also in the field of beauty.

Training and advanced training opportunities - you can practice the profession of hairdresser only after
some courses that certify your knowledge and skills. But your training in the field does not stop here, if
you are interested in specializing in certain haircuts, shaving methods or other services, you must take
training courses that will keep you up to date with the latest trends.

Tips - if you are a good and sought-after barber, your income will increase in proportion to customer
satisfaction and you can earn very large amounts, in addition to salary.

Noe: But some disadvantages?

Whatever job you practice, at some point, you get tired and you get to know the less pleasant parts of
the job. Here are other possible disadvantages of the barber job:
Interaction with people - Although it can be an advantage, because you discover pleasant people, with
whom you like to work, it can also be a disadvantage of the profession, especially when customers are
hard or impossible to be satisfied. Sometimes they can make annoying remarks, so arm yourself
patiently and keep a friendly tone, whatever it is.

You will also have dissatisfied customers - People will hold you responsible for the end result (whether
it's haircuts or beard care). So, when you have customers on the chair who are dissatisfied with their
look, they will not return for a second time for your services.

Physical exhaustion - Standing eight hours a day can expose you to varicose veins, wounds, swollen and
heavy legs. Also, sometimes the positions in which haircuts or barbers can make you tired and back pain
can occur that lead to exhaustion. Take breaks and try not to neglect your meals during the day, no
matter how crowded the program may seem.

Competition between barbers can sometimes be a disadvantage - if there are colleagues who know how
to better promote what they do using social media, they will have access to a much larger number of
customers. Also, always think about offering something extra to those who could benefit from your
services - it can be a massage while washing your head, facial massage if it is a matter of shaving. They
will feel good and it is a method of customer loyalty and retention.

Noe: Would you like to be a barber in the future?

I would not, because I don’t see it as one of my hobbies, but you?

Noe: Sure, why not?
