​"I hate being a barber"!!! That was me at 18, doing 40 identical buzzcuts a day in the Brazilian Air Force. I swore I’d never touch clippers again! ​Fast forward through a career in customer service and living in 5 different countries, and here I am at Gould Barbers Newmarket Road. I’ve realized it wasn’t the hair I hated—it was the lack of connection. Now, I love turning "out-of-control" hair into a "ready-to-party new man" look and making friends along the way. ​The team here is incredibly friendly, and both management and HR are attentive and efficient. Thankfully, I’m only 56, so I’m planning to stay with Gould for at least another 30 or 40 years! Hope you're ready for me.

"I started barbering in 2005, and I’ve always been into barbering and after cutting a few friends hair in my kitchen and I realized I loved the craft and the transformation. I went to Academy for my training and never looked back! I’ve been part of the Gould barbers team for 11 months now and honestly, it’s the atmosphere. Between the great music and the constant laughs with the team and clients, it doesn't even feel like work, I recommend Gould to any barber It’s a fast-paced environment where you actually get the support you need to grow your skills. Plus, the Tesco locations mean we’re always busy!"

“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.”
