The age of the Rockstar Barber!

A unique trade that combines technology and creativity, barbering has been growing  phenomenally over the past few years. At Wahl, we are proud to have played a defining  role in the transformation of this ubiquitous industry. The world’s first electric clipper,  introduced and patented by Wahl, led to a technological revolution and helped barbers  work more efficiently. Another critical contributor to their growth was Wahl’s barber  education programs that helped them master the tricks of the trade. 

Successful barbers strike the right balance of technical skill and artistic flair. Wahl’s  education programs have focused on helping barbers all over the world hone both  these skills while learning how to market themselves and master social media to build  their brands. These education programs have evolved over many years to meet  changing needs. Today, Wahl trains new barbers on basic skills, helps veterans upskill  to modern demands and also provides opportunities to learn specialized techniques  using the latest tools. 

A significant focus of Wahl’s programs in recent years has been brand building and  social media marketing. Under Wahl’s tutelage, barbers have been growing fan  followings and acquiring new customers through their digital channels. This has also  helped elevate barbering’s image among their communities. From setting trends to  showcasing their finesse, social media has helped barbers look ‘cool’ and upped their  value tremendously. 

Wahl is proud to have been instrumental in creating today’s ‘rockstar barbers’! Equipping barbers with the right tools & resources, supporting them with multiple avenues for learning and helping them showcase their skills through competitions & shows are just some of the ways. 

Wahl has kept up its commitment to the barbering community. Opportunities are growing every day in the international grooming industry and with Wahl’s support, the future looks bright for barbers everywhere.
