Barbering, beauty and hairdressing are incredible industries, full of creative and talented professionals. Their skills and imagination are not born; they are created by the fire of study, hard work and commitment. We celebrate those who are qualified and encourage those just starting on their apprenticeship path. The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you.

Maturity is also important. Often sixteen and seventeen year olds can benefit from an extra year at school to gain the maturity they need. But in terms of skill level, Bettjemans experience no problems taking on absolute beginners with no previous experience. “Give me a trainee from a private provider and one straight out of secondary school starting on the same day, and in six months they will be at the same level. The only difference is that one has a $10,000 student loan”. Grant is looking forward to the future of his salon and career. “I love what I’m doing. I want to keep developing the Bettjemans brand and lead a creative and diverse team”.
