"Completing my Barbering course at BIFE has been a huge eye opener to a potential lifelong career in the barbering industry. We studied everything from Health and safety, Cutting Men's Hair and Beards to learning about the industry itself. I found it very hands-on and challenging at times, but in a way that I know will only make me a great barber in the long run. I could not recommend this class enough, lovely teachers, great classmates, and all my friends really appreciated the free haircuts I gave them! The course gave me a lot of confidence to step into a real barbershop. I went from not knowing anything but having a passion for haircutting to then turning that passion into a skill." - Aoife Kennedy
"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
