This entry-level workshop is designed for aspiring barbers, college students and shop juniors who want to sharpen their skills and become more confident behind the chair.
Led by Corey at ROK Barbers Brooklands, this is a practical, fast-paced, real-world session focused on what actually works in a busy barbershop, not overcomplicated theory.
