The Colour Evolution

Barbering is one of the oldest professions in the world spanning back thousands of years and whilst we’ll always take inspiration from the past, we are now in the position to evolve. “Barbers are out there mastering their craft, creating the perfect cut and style. Colour is the next step - it provides the opportunity to add another dimension to the look. It is an evolution” Justin O’Daniel, Lead Educator at The Barbiere Company.

So, let’s ask the age-old question that most barbers are probably wondering about right now—can barbers actually colour hair? The short answer is – YES! You can dive into colouring hair with simple training provided by The Barbiere Company. From easy how-to charts to in-studio training, The Barbiere Company have a variety of education options for barbers wanting to learn how to colour hair.

Men are embracing colour, whether it is bleached blonde, vibrant colours, or more traditional grey coverage. The demand from men wanting coloured hair is rapidly increasing. Ensuring you provide colour will help draw in more clients and allow you to further tap into your creativity – and as we know, barbering is an art form.

Coloured hair on men is more than trending - it’s here to stay.

Not only does offering colour in the barbershop allow barbers to further express their creativity, it provides businesses with an additional revenue stream. Key Account Manager at The Barbiere Company, Paul Mansour elaborates “Colour is an easy way to generate extra revenue with the same customer base for little investment. It also sets you apart from your competitors down the road, having a broader service offering.”.

To help bring colour into the barbershop,The Barbiere Company created a range of kits for barbers with experience at every level – including beginners. The kits include how-to charts and products needed for grey blending, scalp bleaching and tip cap looks. Through using these kits, barbers are able to master the basics and can then move on to bright colours for clients who want to make a statement.

To kick off the offering, The Barbiere Company went to The Bearded Man barbershop on Chapel Street in Victoria to provide a colour training session. During the session the team had the opportunity to experiment with different colouring techniques and the results speak for themselves.

“We are really excited to team up with The Barbiere Company to bring colour into our barbershop. I think it is going to be great having colour as it gives an extra service and option for the client. It makes it more exciting with creativity and builds our services, so watch this space!” Josh Mihan, Owner of The Bearded Man barbershop.
