Update: 2025-11-27
Description
Anthony Laban travels to Liverpool to sit down with industry veterans Romeo the Barber and Pete Cranfield to cut through the crap on making a successful, long-term career out of the hair game. After 20+ years, the pair are thriving and they reveal their secret: successfully mixing old-school skill with new-school pricing…
There’s been a crucial shift from the stressful, inefficient era of the walk-in queue to the modern, professional appointment system. The real focus is efficiency and valuing time: discover how Pete found a professional sweet spot charging appropriately for his hour-long appointments, while Romeo developed a unique formula to maximize his hourly worth by mastering 20-minute premium haircuts, effectively doubling his capacity and escaping burnout!
We also cover the realities of the market today, including add-on revenue using enhancements, the importance of developing a hybrid skill set to cover men's hairdressing and how veteran barbers view the multitude of barbershops opening - as a competitive threat or an opportunity?
