​"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 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.”
