denis otvos "Choosing the Barbering course at Bray Institute was one of the best decisions I have ever made. It has taught me all the things I needed to know as a beginner barber but it has also taught me all the theory behind cutting hair which I had no clue about until then. When I first thought about starting barbering, I didn’t know where to start until I came across the Bray Institute course and I’m glad I went and did it. It has opened up pathways in my barbering career. Just a few weeks before completing the course I got a job opportunity with “The Grafton Barbers” and I couldn’t believe it because if it wasn’t for the course I wouldn’t know how to cut hair. Fast forward a year and I am now a Senior Stylist at Grafton Barbers. It has been so beneficial for me to attend the barbering course at Bray Institute. Everything that has been covered in class has been a huge benefit to me here at Grafton Barbers." - Denis Otvos
