"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 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.

"When I saw the brothers open their first shop, I knew I needed to be a part of it.

I joined Gould in 2016 and when Wisbech opened in 2017 I became senior barber. Wisbech is now Gould’s best shop every week with 12 full time barbers.

Gould is a great company to work for, with a great career path. The shops being in a Tesco brings in untold footfall which makes the Gould Barbers brand even more appealing.

For any barber looking to progress in their career or a barber who simply wants to earn a brilliant wage, get on board with Gould Barbers."
