Barbering students brush up on their knowledge
The team from the BBA visited the college to talk to students about the history of the barbering trade and run some demonstrations to show students some
traditional techniques.
This was the first stop for barbers Mike Taylor and Hannah Grigg, who set up the BBA, as they tour the country to talk to students about the history of the barbering industry and show how important barbering qualifications are to the
trade.
