To work as a barber, the minimum requirement is a CAP (vocational training certificate) in hairdressing, as all the basics of the trade are derived from hairdressing. This is prepared in two years after the third year in a vocational school or CFA (apprentice training centre) or in one year if you already have a level V diploma such as a CAP or BEP, or better still a BAC which is a level IV diploma. You can then specialise by following a barber's course and doing internships with master barbers in order to master all the techniques. If you wish to open a barbershop, you will need at least a professional certificate (BP) in hairdressing.

Trained in hairdressing, the barber, also known as a barber, takes care of men's beauty on a daily basis. He is thus at the disposal of these gentlemen to shave, trim and maintain their beard or moustache, to give them a haircut in order to obtain the perfect harmony between hair and beard, to pluck their eyebrows and nose hairs, to give them extensions, colouring and brushings, both of their beard and their hair. Cabbage cutters, scissors, clippers, combs, shaving brushes, beard soap, razors... He masters various tools with precision and skill. This craftsman also advises his clients on the products to use for the daily maintenance of their beard and moustache, and their hair. In the aesthetic care offered by the barber, scrubs, modelling and massages are part of the package to offer a better well-being to the male gender.

We call on a barber to take care of our face, beard, moustache and hair. He can improve our aesthetics as well as our well-being by shaving, removing nose hair, shaping our face and removing blackheads that have become deeply embedded...

For a full shave, including cleaning, scrubbing and skin modelling, you should expect to pay between €25 and €35.

To choose a barber, you can trust your friends and family to guide you. Otherwise, there are online reviews, either on social networks or directly on search engines. By reading reviews and looking at different barber websites, you can then make up your own mind. Experience and qualification are the most important criteria.

- How many years of experience do you have? - What training have you received? - Do you offer packages? - Can you advise me on regular beard maintenance?
