Want a free copy of my new Barber Business Playbook?
As a thank-you to all our members, I’m offering you a complimentary copy of my new book, Barber Business Playbook, before I promote it more widely starting at £9.99. In return, I’m asking you to commit to reading it and sharing a short, honest review within two weeks. It doesn’t need to be polished—just tell me what helped, what you’ll put into practice and what could be better. I want your honest opinion, not automatic praise. The Playbook covers pricing, understanding your numbers, building your clientele and creating a practical 90-day action plan. If you have time to read it and give feedback, comment PLAYBOOK below and I’ll send you a copy. If I’d like to feature your review on the sales page, I’ll ask your permission first and make clear that you received a free copy.

Today's Live!
Hey Barber fam, Today's live was packed with information. If you missed it, here's some of what was covered: Why are you booking more hours and more days just to make more money, when there are other ways to grow your income? Mr. Boyce broke down how extra services like hair fibers, hair enhancements, spa treatments, and more — are ways to add value without adding hours behind the chair. He talked about rebooking discounts, and why getting your client to book their next appointment right after their haircut changes everything for your business. He talked about what makes you different. What makes you stand out from every other barber in town. Because skill alone isn't rare — every head you cut, you're sharpening that skill, and so is everybody else. So raising your prices isn't about being the most skilled barber. It's about something deeper. He covered what are your systems and routines. He talked about the mindset — what separates a professional from somebody just hustling day to day. And we talked about what it actually takes to manage this like a business, not just a job. That has nothing to do with how good you are with clippers. And everything to do with the structure you build around your skill. If you can feel this, you already know — you don't want to miss the next live. See y'all there.

@Mark Rayment Yessir. Thanks for having me.
🎉START HERE👇Welcome to The Barbers Business Club
You know the craft. This is where we sort the business. Most barbers don't have an income problem — they have a system problem. Full chair, busy weeks, and still not enough left at the end of the month. That's not down to your skill. It's down to how the business is set up. No lectures. No ego. Just progress. Three steps, ten minutes: 1️⃣ Introduce yourself below. Keep it short and honest — no need to be polished: • Where do you cut? • Where are you in barbering right now? (student, working barber, chair renter, owner) • The one number you want to fix this year — price per cut? quiet Tuesdays? take-home pay? 2️⃣ Grab the Barber Income Fix Checklist — Classroom → Barber Income System. Takes under an hour, and most members find their first leak before they're finished. 3️⃣ Comment on one other member's intro. That's how this place works. No lurking required — but no lectures either. What happens here every week: 📊 Monday Numbers — we each post one number from last week and one goal. Yes, actual numbers. That's the point. 🔴 Wednesday Live, 7 pm — guest sessions with people worth listening to, and open hot-seats the other weeks. Next up: Tracy "Lady Barber" Mangan, Tuesday 1st September. 🏆 Wins Friday — one win, any size. By day seven, you'll know exactly where your income is leaking and have one fix in motion. That's the deal. See you in the comments 👇 Mark & Anderson

Where are I based? North Carolina. Where am I at in barbering right now? I’m a former/retired barber. I spent decades behind the chair, but an injury forced me to step away from cutting. That experience pushed me to start thinking bigger about income stability and what life after the chair can look like. What’s my biggest challenge at the moment? Right now, it’s helping barbers see that our skills can open doors beyond the chair. A lot of talented barbers are grinding hard but still feel stuck financially. What would I love this community to help me with? I’m looking forward to connecting with people who are building smarter in the industry — learning more about business, multiple streams within barbering, and how we can create long-term stability in this profession. I'm looking forward to learning and building with everyone here.
