WHAT IS THE MISSION AND WHY

Let’s hope the sequel is as good as the original. Or better.

So, what is the mission, the mission is to change the face of barbering.  Let’s face it back in the day men didn’t talk about their feelings because the attitude was completely different. Or was it? Men used to go to the pub a few nights a week for a pint and a chat with their mates. That’s social therapy. If we want to admit it or not social therapy works to some extent. Thankful for our physical and mental health going to the pub isn’t as common no more. Because as beneficial as it would have been to have a pint and chat with mates down the pub, prolonged drinking and excessive drinking isn’t going to be conducting to good mental health.

The barbering industry has changed so much over the years. Barber shops back in the day used to have a sense of community. There were people sitting and waiting for a cut, talking to each other. Not sat on a smart phone blocking the world out.  With more barber shops opening the industry changed I feel like it lost its feeling of community, the feeling of care, the feeling of being valued as a client sometimes. Is this because barbers don’t care as much as they used to about their clients? I believe that isn’t the case at all.

People open up to us we get told the highs and the low ‘s of our client’s lives. This is why I am on a mission to change the face of barbering. Haircuts and uppercuts is here to be the brand that clients can see on the shelf of their barber shop and know “this barber has some training and empathy and might be able to advise me on where to go” the mental health first aid course is a six week course an

d teaches you how to help someone in a situation of distress, anxiety and more. I will go into this in another blog.

I want to educate as many barbers as possible. To have the product range in as many barber shops as possible and have the products be like the BAT SIGNAL that its ok to talk here its ok to ask for help here. There is no education in the apprenticeship program for hair professionals on how to deal with these situations. BUT HAIRCUTS AND UPPERCUTS is here to change that

The mission is simple

TO EMPOWER MEN FIGHT BACK AGINST MENTAL HEALTH

ONE HAIRCUTS AT A TIME

ONE CLIENT AT A TIME
