Introduction to Barbering

Josh O’Callaghan

Educator

After receiving his training from our very own academy director, Josh would go on to further refine and hone his skills in salons and barbershops around Nottingham. Drawing inspiration from a eclectic range of sources, Josh has developed his own unique style of barbering, blurring the lines between traditional barbering and contemporary men’s hairdressing. Josh’s career has now come a full circle, once entering as a student and now returning as an educator.
