Barbering
Barbering at GTI is an intensive, hands-on, course leading to a recognised international qualification. Training is provided in the fully equipped college salon. Work experience offers students the opportunity to further develop their skills in selected and approved barbers. Core Skills - A good haircut is the basis of every hairstyle. Your cutting skills are among the most important you will need as a barber and take time to develop. You will use scissors and clippers to produce both classical styles and commercial fashion looks. As your skills develop, you will gain the confidence to cut different hair types, creating graduated and one-length cuts, and perfecting skills in fading techniques. You will learn how to adapt the cut to achieve the best possible outcome for every client.
