Meet Racheal, our barbering tutor in Takapuna sharing her story by answering a few questions.

How many years have you been in this industry? 23 years, before I did training to become a hairdresser – I did not enjoy that too much, so I started working in barber shops.

Why did you want to be a barber/hairdresser? My siblings are hairdressers so I followed their footsteps. I thought it was going to be easy – rude awakening! But looking back the joy I got out of barbering is priceless.
