"I started my journey in barbering working in my mum’s barbershop in Framingham , where I first learned the craft and developed a passion for the trade. From there, I went on to open and run my own barbershop in Diss, gaining valuable experience and building my confidence as a barber.

Working with Gould Barbers has been a great part of my journey. It’s given me the opportunity to travel to shops all over England, see new places, and meet different people in the industry. Gould have always treated me well, covering travel expenses and making the experience enjoyable. It’s allowed me to see more of the beautiful country we live in while continuing to grow in my barbering career."

“I became interested in barbering when I was young. I always enjoyed the idea of working with people and helping them feel more confident through a good haircut. My family also inspired me, as some of my relatives work in hairdressing and barbering, which encouraged me to start this career.

Working at Gould Barbers has been a great experience for me. The environment is professional and supportive, and it’s a place where barbers can grow their skills and build strong relationships with clients.

What I enjoy most about working here is the team atmosphere and the opportunity to improve every day. The shops are always busy, which helps you gain more experience and develop your craft.

For anyone thinking about working at Gould Barbers, I would definitely recommend it. It’s a great place to work, the management is supportive, and they respect their barbers and pay them fairly and on time.”

“I started barbering in 2020, and never really felt comfortable in shops I’d been working in till joining Gould september of 2024. Since then, the support and shop vibes were better than I could have asked for. At Gould it really feels as if we are a team and we all want the same goal, of delivering a great service and make people return to us. It doesn’t feel like you’re working for a conveyer belt or a numbers game. There’s a real sense of pride here. I’d recommend working at Gould to anyone who has pride in their barbering and strives for delivering great work.”
