“Networking is really valuable. Everyone knows something you don’t, so don’t be afraid to start conversations. Discovering why a client uses a certain product or finding out what’s trending in other shops has made me a better barber.”
Sergio Aranda, a barber since 2015, relies on continuing education, industry publications, and social media’s ever-evolving trends to keep his skills sharp. But it’s his partnership with Johnny B. that he’s most proud of because it has given him a sense of community, The networking opportunities that have come his way and the insight he’s gained from them is beyond anything he learned in school. His easy-going personality and excitement in sharing the knowledge he’s acquired is evident in every class he teaches.
